Re: Re: new topic - SI popularity

Good ideas. We purchase club irises and often it is siberians. I think people 
make growing siberians too difficult. I agree that getting them started takes 
a bit of TLC but we moved from our former home nine years ago and those 
clumps are doing very well and have had no watering/fertilizing in that time. In 
fact, there are seedlings growing in the grass/meadow which is largely quack 
grass that came up from the pods that fell off the wheelbarrow when it went to a 
dump pile. They have come up in the heavy grass as tiny seedlings and now have 
been blooming for at least 4 years and that is with absolutely no care other 
than when it decides to rain and I can truthfully add that there have been 
several months in the summer when there was hardly any rainfall. I think it is a 
real miracle and I might add there are 3-6 clumps that are better iris than 
many of you are growing unless you have added some new varieties since the 
'80s/90's. I have always maintained it takes no more fertilizer, watering etc., to 
grow good quality plants than inferior varieties. anna mae miller
