Re: SPEC: Unknown Orange beardless

Yes, Christian, I agree.  The mimosa foliage is lacy enough that it appears
to bloom quite well.  Now that I know what type of iris it is and what it
likes,  I may be able to transplant it to another spot.  I had tried it in
my front flower bed (on a walker's street) so other people could enjoy it
but it doesn't do well there.  That bed is sand clear to China and there is
no way I can make a a wet area with lots organic matter.  

I've been adding organic matter to it for almost 50 years and still can lay
a hose running full blast and the water just disappears into the ground.  I
have to fight constantly to keep the fertility up enough to grow my bearded
iris.

wouldn't the fact that it is overcrowding itself and in need of dividing
indicate that it likes being under the mimosa tree?
