Correction and Irises

Hello; awhile back I was trying to help someone identify a wildflower, and
wrote that it might be Rue Anemone, a member of the genus Thalictrum.  I
should have said the genus is Anemonella.  Sorry for the misinformation.

Re:  Siberian Irises - I have had them growing in sun and shade, and I have
never had them bloom in sun. The best blossoming I have now is from a clump
in half-shade (about 3 hrs. sun in the morning); the least from a clump
receiving late afternoon sun.  These are the same variety.

Here's an oddity:  I have never had Siberians bloom from the first
planting.  In other words, I plant a new clump, leave it in place for a few
years, then divide it.  It will bloom the year it is divided, if I divide
before its flowering season (early June here).  Anyone else have a similar
experience?  I should mention that the clumps I have planted were always
blooming-size when I bought them.
