This morning I was was reading the June '04 issue of 'The New
Zealand Iris Society Bulletin' and, in a report from the Albany
N.Z. group, Mary King wrote:
"Public plantings made in Kell Park of water-loving iris are
largely flourishing, despite some lack of knowledge by some
Council employees! All our Siberians were mowed to the ground in
the Spring {our Fall in the Northern Hemisphere}, but new growth
has now returned."
One of my least favorite jobs is cutting back the Sibs in the
Fall.....mowing sounds far easier. Anybody ever do it outside
of Albany, N.Z.? I know Dana Borglum torches his Sibs....I guess
the same outcome?
