Default X fingers for the Iris

Today, I planted out 13 Iris I had bought from Cayeux. They've been in
pots for months and Ray had kindly moved them into a tunnel when we had
incessant rain. The border they're in is very narrow and faces due
south and west as it turns a corner. Lots of grit was dug into it, so
now I cross my fingers and hope for the very best! Ours is a wet
garden, so not ideal for these beautiful plants so this is my last
serious attempt to grow them. If these fail, I'll buy just a couple
more and put them where another appears to have seeded itself by the
pond!
