    After 2 years with very little Iris flowers, I now have about 10 Iris budding this year. I can't wait to see them in full bloom. I hope they all make it. I have alot more that haven't budded as yet so maybe I will have alot of Iris this year. I'll take pictures this weekend.

    WOOT!!! Isn't it just the greatest when they FINALLY bloom? I'd be out looking every morning and every night. I swear my plants must get tired of being stared at Big Grin


    The key to a nice-looking lawn is a good mower. I recommend one who is muscular and shirtless.

    Karen, can't wait to see pictures. Mine are starting to bud now, I have been postponing dividing them but must do it this summer, they're getting very crowded.

    Thanks everyone. It's been raining on and off for a few days now so I haven't had a chance to check on them. I will take pictures when they start blooming.

    I love iris and noticed my bud pods are swelling nicely on several plants. I hope for a better showing this year.
    Don't forget to take pictures. I can't wait to see yours.

    Tessb. Nothing. You have to let the leaves die down so they feed the bulb for next years blooms. Most gardeners place annuals in front of them to hide the yellowing leaves.
