Hi, I think I should re-introduce myself before I
do my message. I was reading and posting a bit
a couple of years ago while I was building up
my garden from nothing. It's a small north facing
E. London garden which is quite jungly and looking
very lush at the moment.

I have a small pond with 3 goldfish that are growing
nicely and a large clump of iris Pseudacorus growing
in a pond basket rather too nicely. They've grown 5'
and I'm going to replace them with the smaller
iris Laevigata Dorothy next week.

After living in the pond would they thrive in the
ground if I gave them to neighbours? Alternatively
is it worth offering my Pseudacorus to anybody
here or are they like 10 a penny and everybody
gets rid of them? I don't have room for a compost
heap here and I hate throwing stuff away...
Oh yes.. I sold them at a local plant sale at 50p a root (clipped down
and bare rooted) and they went like hotcakes.. They weren't even in
pots, just laid on a bit of plastic

At that price its not worth selling large ones online though. Unless
you find a willing buyer elsewhere.

Quicker to give them away or swap.. Some of us are having a 'meet' at
Kew on Tues.. we will be swapping plants..;-)
