Armadillos in Texas are like woodchucks in Ohio,
they are born dead at the side of the road.
The bottle had to be a long neck Lone Star Beer
bottle. From my time in armadillo country I
know that it is the only kind they drink. :-)
Obligatory IRIS.
A few weeks ago I dug and divided nearly all my
iris and replanted what I didn't give away. I
also bought about a dozen new plants at the local
iris auction.
Everything has taken root and there are many many
new fans. The bloom may not great next year but
if everything goes well 1999 will stop traffic.
Some of the plants I gave away went to a neighbor
across the street. He is totally puzzled as I
am. Suburban back yard too civilized for deer
but something *ate* leaves rhyzome and all, ten
of the twelve plants I gave him. They were gone
with only a shallow hole in the ground to mark
where they had been. (Nothing has bothered the
hundred or so I have.) Any ideas?
Bob In Lake Effect country east of Cleveland
Ohio. Is it zone 5 or is it zone 6 with lots of
snow?
