Ellen--
I'm sure our iris aren't "thirsty"--even though we get
NO natural rain
here in our part of California from April through
October, we do a good
watering once a week during the digging season. So
they're definitely
not "thirsty". Our iris field is basically semi-damp
all summer.
So....they're probably doing so well for you because of
all the TLC that
we give them and then obviously you've continued that
care. :-)
