I agree with you, Rosalie *but* I was very remiss this summer and
some of my ordered purchases were not planted, shall we say, right
away. The best laid plans can go amok and little bags of bearded irises
festooned my garage. I did have the sense to unpack them and soak
and plant
the *beardless* ones as soon as possible.

rain is
not in our department...just snow. :)
