These are in my main garden, a raised bed, which does get watered. I didnÂt buy any of the rare and expensive ones. That is an active bed with so much digging going on that losing some small bulbs is going to happen. So all minor bulbs planted there have to be expendable. This is the third year for these. The most-purple one has really reproduced so I think I will dig some later and spread them around a bit. Since the leaves really grow after flowering I will have to figure out when the right time is. Katharine Hodgkin is very pretty. I like the veining on the falls, which look a little larger than most. I think the one I took a photo of is Pixie. I also have Pauline which is a deep rose purple with a touch of white and no yellow. I find the color of this one does not show up against the bark mulch. When itÂs too cold to be outside I want to be able to see them from the house! Pixie just glows. I liked the pale blue Cantab so much I planted a lot more of those last fall. These were from Brent and BeckyÂs. I didnÂt buy a yellow iris because I was counting on yellow crocuses, though so far they have not bloomed together. I keep meaning to buy the iris color assortment when they go on sale but itÂs been sold out every year by that time! The iris are the first thing I have to bloom, way before the first daffodil. They have quite a long bloom time too. They will get a little tattered under the snow but survive it remarkably well.

Hi Lisa, I would like to trade. I am interested in: Miribilis Red Glow (4:00) Red 4:00 - Deeper red Snap Dragon - Night and Day (Limited Supply) maybe others if you see anything that interests you. Barbie

Just to make it clear-the seeds in the list are my own seeds and I am only looking for Lagurus ovatus and Amaranthus tricolor seeds. Thanks :o) Robbi
