No,no,nonononononono!!! My situation is that I can't plant them
directly into the ground because they'd fry! (today's heat index was AT
LEAST 110!) But, I've already received several irises and they need to
be in soil; hence, the pots. I will transplant them into the ground in
August or September; whenever we've gotten rid of about 9/10 of my
parent's irises (of which about 9/10 haven't bloomed in 3 years!)
So anyway, we've got a wheelbarrow full of happy potting soil, and a
few TB's in really tiny pots. It's kinda funny! ;-)
