Iris

5/16

Unknown Red tall bearded iris. I don't know the name of this iris or even if it has a name. I found a tiny little root about 6 years ago growing in a fence line or another house we lived in. It could of started by seed as there were no iris near by. It took a few years before it bloomed but has been a reliable bloomer and spreader ever since. It has large nicely scented flowers.

'Honorabile' - An old fashioned miniature tall bearded from 1840. I will be dividing these ones after they bloom, shortly. I will have plenty of nice roots to share. They have small blooms but look great when they are massed together. This little iris is hardy and takes all kinds of rough and tough conditions and does just fine, all the while multiplying nicely. I will sell them $1 a root or barter. They start blooming in May for me.

Iris are hardy and like to have their roots in the sun. I've forgotten roots sometimes while dividing iris and tossed them aside somewhere over winter and in the spring, there they were, happy, growing, still not planted in the ground. They like clay dirt, they do fine if it's dry. Easy care plants.

NOTES: All iris are done blooming for the year. Need to divide and concor the Honrabile, order new iris, and deadhead everyone. Recieved a siberian iris division from a neighbor that needs to be planted.
