Re: RE:TB- Lowes and Walmart

Bill I was just pondering the idea to make the Walmart garden 
manager an offer on the rest of the Iris they had left at the end of 
the week and then bring them home then pot them up for next spring.
What are the chances that they will survive an Indiana winter which 
can be very harsh or very mild?
I am open to any suggestions as I hate to see those poor rizoms go 
to waist.
