Hi Tracy I would love all 4 fans of your Iris versicolor (Northern Blue Flag - U.S. native) - 4 fans - a purple/blue water iris with some white and gold, 36" tall and very vigorous, blooms in early summer, full sun/part shade. I have a great variety of ferns that I would be more than willing to trade. Jean

Thanks for all of the advice :o) I noticed I had three of them and would you believe somebody actually wanted to take it home and continue growing it!!! :o) But it would appear a couple more have poked their tiny little heads up ... what's a gardener to do .. *sigh* :o) This is what it looked like when it first showed up .. see what a little TLC will do. Its amazing what a little fertilizer will do for a tiny little weed:o) Laura

Yep. Our first year with a hoop house. 96% of the plants in pots in there for overwintering have died. Then again, a few things outside in the elements have died, too (Heaths & Heathers - I suspect lack of moisture during February). In hindsight I should have buried the pots in the raised beds instead of just leaving them on top or on the ground. The survivors were 2 Penstemmon 'Chocolate Drop', a Salvia (not the very tender kind)and a catnip. The survivors actually growing in the beds are pretty much the same characters you have. We also put a spun polyester "blanket" over them.

The white rose is a representation of purity, selflessness, sincerity, and true love.

The beauty it entails is what makes these beautiful flowers stand and versatile among the rainbow of flowers. White roses carry the elegancy and significance with themselves that any other flower failed to achieve.
