Twelve year ago when we moved to Missouri, we had a pile of "oldies" from our
Upstate New York garden that survived being put in a plastic bag and shipped
UPS and then planted - or most of them got got planted. A large clump was
left at the edge of the woods, unseen and forgotten. Next spring those
unplanted irises bloomed anyway! Which ones, you ask? WABASH (WILLIAMSON 36
)! It is still growing in a dozen places in our yard (sun and shade) and
blooms every year - it makes me so happy!
