| I got these from a neighbor. They are all over the ‘hood. |
I posted the following note on our neighborhood list serve:

| I bought these this year. |
My favorite garden writer, the late, great, Henry Mitchell, once took off two weeks from work in order to properly appreciate the iris in his garden. “I sat there and strolled there morning to night... not one of them opened that I did not see in full head-on focus”. If one were inclined to do such a thing, it seems the next two weeks would be ones to take off. As it turns out, many of us will be well positioned to stroll the neighborhood and properl appreciate each others’ iris over the next little bit. It seems like the weather has been good for them - I’m noticing them all over. And it has been my observation that deer do not care much for iris, another bonus. This might be a side hustle for folks out on the teddy bear hunt - how many different colors of iris are there?
I sadly only have a few myself, mostly acquired from neighbors. I’m interested in more - if anyone feels the need to divide theirs after bloom is over, keep me in mind.
Shameless begging for more of these lovely plants.
