Thanks everybody! I think I have enough takers, so I'm closing the thread. I'll post again if I have more to share. Happy gardening! Ginny

I would be interested in any iris you may have left. I have some already but would like to get a few more. Just let me know if you have any left & where to send the postage. Thank you in advance for the generous offer.

Hi, Do you happen to know what colors these are or maybe have pictures of them? I might be interested in them! Thanks, Trish

I've been trying to keep on top of removing the dying foliage on the iris. It seems they mat down around the roots and collect debris, and I'm paranoid about getting any kind of rhizome fungus. I'll wait till it's a bit colder to cut the foliage into fans, but I definitnely want to remember to do it this year. I haven't in years past, and the leaves have trapped every tree leaf in a block radius -- leaving a soggy mess on the iris rhizomes all winter long! I've never really been much for cutting the herbs, Bill, but plants have stretched out and grown over the others, like waves on the beach. Unfortunately (especially with the lavender) these leads to long, grey, dead looking stems, with a fringe of green at the top. I'm experimenting; cutting some back severely, some just a little, some not at all. Advice and experiments are all we have to go one as gardeners, isn't it? Thanls for the advice!
