Anner, my husband said there seemed to be a lot of discussion today on this
subject (of having a symposium containing all types of iris) or on why
historics are discourgaged from being named Queen of the show. I tried
going back in the archives, but it has only been updated through Sunday,
March 14. Will try again latter. Iristalk will no longer be deleted from
my computer, so I can follow threads of conversations again.
Instead of following iristalk, I had time to weed today. Yes, weeds are
growing and doing well already. Must learn to use my little crookneck hoe
instead of doing all by hand...it is much quicker. Lots of clumps looking
great; some little species iris still blooming. ATROVIOLACIA is still just
waking up, no sign of buds yet. Even the arilbreds right up against the
south wall are still sleeping. This is good...perhaps they'll not be
fooled too early this year. There were dozens of robins and redbirds
bathing in the creek this afternoon by the psuedacorus...so many I couldn't
see if the laviagata I planted last summer was doing okay or not. But the
splashing birds were beautiful...I've never seen them do that before. The
creek is small and heavily shaded by Sugar Maples in the summer, but fairly
open in the spring.
