I finally gave up this week and put all of mine in pots and set them in  
semi-shade.  I don't have trees so they are sitting under carports and in  the 
afternoon shade of other pots, etc. But I do dread moving them from  pots to soil 
later.   
 
Some, ones I've lost before, will stay in the pots.  Sometimes an iris  that 
doesn't grow well here will give children that thrive and do well.   EDITH 
WOLFORD is a good example in my garden.  She's till growing in that  large pot.  
She's on the wrong side of the car port and doesn't get much  water, but, 
being a lady, she's not complaining!
