Re: LA:SPEC: Saving Iris

Thanks for the offer Annette I can get more. I planted more another place that they haven't bothered. I knew when I planted them this might happen. They were not something I could not afford to loose. I gave some to a friend that has them planted a long the shore. He has a lake front lot. He really likes them. The Canada geese ate his Pseudacorus I gave him. Gave him some more this year.

We have a golf cart trail around the edge of the 100 acre lake. I planted about 500 Crestata along part of it last year. Some of them are growing, hard to remember every spot I planted them. There is Blue Eyed Grass growing wild along the trail.

I just wanted to bring up the point about saving iris you should do everything possible to get permission first. 

And Betty they took all the Black Gamecock  leaving a few broken off leaves and a hole.It was not easy digging, planted in gravel.

  Dear Mike,
       If you send me your address, I'll send you a rhizome of BLACK GAMECOCK. 
  You could try it again, maybe put a plant label next to the plant to give the 
  rescurer something to think about.
