Mike, Interested in your hostas. I have cannas to trade. Peggy

I have echinacea out the ying-yang, if you're interested. Not until spring, though. April

I'm in Zone 7, not 6, but I think your best bet is still to leave it outside over winter. Moving it now will disturb the root system it's working so hard to develop. I suggest mulching that bed well and having faith that it will sprout back up come spring. The fulva is a species iris and even though NY is further north than it grows naturally species beardless iris are pretty tough. With global warming, who knows? It may grow to love Yankee winters!

Lisa, I can't think of a thing I need right now, but I'm glad you got the plant. I was probably in the backyard when you came by and I did get your note. So happy you picked up the plant. The lady I got this from may have planted the I. fulva close to her I. foetidissima, so it could very well be that the other two iris-like plants in the container are I. foetidissima. It would be interesting to know when they bloom. Common name for the I. fulva is Copper Iris. As you could see, my front yard is packed with potted and planted things. Sorry for the muddy sidewalk, but I am still working on that front bed I just extended to the sidewalk. Have to put in some kind of barrier between sidewalk and bed to keep the soil from running onto the sidewalk. Susan
