RE: Moving Iris siberica in the Fall - don't

Well, I had to dig 150 sibes & JI's on July 9th in Victoria BC and replanted
in Manitoba the following weekend.  I dipped each root  - or sprinkled in
the hole for larger clumps- with 'Myke' so time will tell.  They are in a
half shady area of veggie garden and being watered v. often.  hjave to clear
back more brush to get more AM sun there.  Watering with  alfalfa tea as
fast as I can make it.

And joy of joy.  This week Barb Jackson in Brandon (MB) gave me a sibe that
has never bloomed.  Guess what.  My fave.  Skywings.  I first saw it and
fell in love with it in Ellen's former garden.  Lost it in one of my many
moves.    So now I have a great clump.  Can't wait for next year.

My TB's, moved in June of 2001 and in feed bags for 8 weeks before planting
did not bloom at all.  I only lost 3 though and tons of good growth this
year so have great hopes for 2003.

Wonder why Gloris & Dan have no sibes in their catalogue this year.  Anybody
know?

Cheers  Ginny in Manitoba, watching the rain today.
