Re: TB that do NOT make it thru hard winter

Hi, Eleanor

Thanks for the offer.  I would be interested in any info you can provide.  I
keep
looking at my irises waiting for them to bloom and thinking how good they look
this
year.....................so I am sure they aren't going to bloom or something
else will
happen.

I tried Edith Wolford, too.  She didn't make the winter.  I am on my third and
hopefully final time for Honky Tonk Blues ( it bloomed for me once and I loved
it),
but then that one died.  I think the second one I still have, but it barely
looks like a plant right now and it looked like that last year too.  The third
one I planted on the south side of my house and it looks a lot better.

Thanks.
