RE: CULT: BEGINNER STILL - DWARF/DUTCH IRIS HELP NEEDED

Everyone - thank you so much for all your advice.  I got all the "bulbs" in
the ground yesterday and it has been raining steadily and heavily since
about 11 pm last night.  Just in time I would think.  I've noted a lot of
your comments on the back of the cardboard packaging (you know the stuff -
lovely photographs of what is SUPPOSED to come up). Annette Milch - I noted
the 1 or 2 years for Danfordiae, and I will watch to see how long they last.
I've added bone meal as someone else suggested.  And look forward to next
spring.  Thank you to all for "wheel barrows" of advice.

Parry Sound, Ontario - where it has been raining steadily for about 19 hours
and shows no signs of letting up.  Thank heavens its NOT cold enough for
snow, or we'd really be shovelling by now.

Hi,
     Dutch Irises & Danfordiae will do fine if planted in October in
Lexington, Kentucky. The Dutch irises live for many years, but the Danfordia
only live a year or two. Again, these are bulbous irises & nothing like
other
rhizomous irises. Feed with superphosphate or bonemeal. Good luck.
     Annette Milch where it has rained & I have a brand new bay window from
which I can bird watch.
