Joan Mirov. The problem with Irises is they don't cover the ground well enough to shut out weeds, so I'm looking for spreading plants that do that better. But I do love the flowers.Hannahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04773149110503024929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1495323991307537519.post-31737202131913922972013-05-19T19:52:39.325-07:002013-05-19T19:52:39.325-07:00Thanks, Carolyn.

I like roses better, their bloom season is a lot longer, except for the once-bloomers, which can be spectacular though, Madame Hardy is gearing up with lots of buds, and I can't wait for Rosa Mundi to bloom. I'm trying to enjoy the Rhodies, it helps photographing the flowers. The dead-heading gets to me.Hannahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04773149110503024929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1495323991307537519.post-48242601351739106112013-05-19T19:48:04.484-07:002013-05-19T19:48:04.484-07:00The problem with Irises and Daylilies is there are...The problem with Irises and Daylilies is there are so many similar varieties it is not always easy to tell. I looked up my old map and it seems to be World Premier, because of the white signal and veins. http://www.waltersgardens.com/plants/General-Perennial/1885_IrisWorld-Premier.aspx I have another very similar Iris without the white signal called Proud Tradition. http://www.iriswarehouse.com/iriswarehouse/proud-tradition-iris-iriswarehouse-daylilywarehouse.html I don't know what possessed me to buy so many similar Irises. I guess I was bitten by the Iris bug.<br /><br />The Rhodies and azaleas are beautiful for a while, but only a short while then they kind of do better with dead-heading which can be a big chore with a lot of large plants. I was severely tempted by the orange-gold deciduous azaleas this year though. We had azaleas in Houston when I was a kid, but not Rhodies.Hannahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04773149110503024929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1495323991307537519.post-77973101689343370232013-05-19T16:10:44.130-07:002013-05-19T16:10:44.130-07:00Thanks!

It was a pass along plant. I always admire people's azalea and Rhodies. I can't seem to grow them here.

He's just a long hair, lazy, tuxedo dude. He's such a funny guy. Easily annoyed but lovable when everything is going his way. :) Yes the weeds/grasses love to invade. It's a constant battle. But one I enjoy. Cheers.
