WELCOME!  You've lucked into a great club... and you're going to be in for a
great ride on this robin/list/chat group.  

I come from the "where in h--- am I going to put this new iris" school of
landscaping.. so there is very little plan at all in my yard (except for
small stuff in the front... mostly).  One year I DID plant a monochrome bed
and found it quite boring... besides for getting mixed up almost instantly.
 Irises need to be planted in glorious muddle to show off!

Have fun... any particular questions you have, this crew loves to jump in and
help.
