Elaine,

I had to NYM shift again using a remailer, because nobdy was reading my
replies, and everyone put me in their Kill file.

Me Carol, the greatest ponder of world. That being said, You are dumb
blonde, you effortd at geting a degree in bioinfomatic just went the
down the out house of ponderland.

To get a replacement for a light bulb, you go to Home Depot. Getting a
plant a HD is like buying a hamster in walmart, they are full of dieases
and they are going to die in 2 years of less. And what up with buying
out of country plants? Buy american always.

You need to go to Wally World.

I bought two baby Japanese Iris (Iris ensata) plants at Home Depot and
planted one in the pond over a month ago. The other looked iffy, so I
kept it in its nursery container of aquatic soil outside of the pond to
see if it wouldn't grow some. The one I planted had a couple of healthy
shoots, but has only added a leaf or two and now seems to have stopped
growing. Same with the one sitting next to the pond. The lily and
pickerel weed I bought and planted at the same time are growing very well.

The Iris in the pond is in a 2 gallon pot in Schultz aquatic soil and
fertilized with a lily tablet. It gets about 8 hours of direct sun
daily. It was about 7" deep and only grew a bit. I moved it up to
about 2-3" deep a week ago and it's still doing nothing. Not dying -
just stalled. Water temps are 70-75F now.

What else does this plant want from me?
