Thank you, Paul! I've been following this iris chat group for more than ten
years in hopes of finding the elusive root beer iris. Picador is its name, I
think. My daughter is in Germany now, and she will be able to look in these
historic iris gardens for it next spring. She and I have searched all over
the
US. She brought me three different slips this summer from old neighborhoods
in
Connecticut that met my description of appearance and fragrance. She thinks
at
least one or all of them may be the root beer iris that grew in my
grandmother's and my mother's gardens in the 1950's and 60's here in
Minnesota. They are all growing well, so far, and I am hoping for blossoms
next spring. Should I provide any kind of mulch to help them overwinter?~Lee
