Re: CULT:Where did that come from

Betty,
So it is not only the Birds who drop seeds everywhere and propagate flora all over our earth?
Seriously, I'd never heard of anyone doing this, I think it's cute.
I always find it amazing when I've found irises surviving in abandoned homesteads when hiking, knowing they've been unattended for 30-50 years. I know some of our older historic varieties can do it, but I do worry as to whether many of our newer varieties could do it.

Earlier this year, a Master Gardener group asked how irises sometimes just
'appear!' I relayed this story as one possibility and they really enjoyed it!

Years ago, an iris friend said he couldn't bear to compost left over
rhizomes. He would drive down the road and 'pitch' these irises into fence rows or
any friendly looking environment.

Iris dumping is not so uncommon!
