Default Alert for Bob!

Cayeux Iris are doing a special offer of the White & Blue Collection and
the Yellow and Red collection. Six of each at £36.00 and £31.50
respectively. I've ordered the White & Blue and am now about to 'confess'
to Raymond! What with my new found passion for Iris plus Hemerocallis and
Dahlias, he's feeling a bit under siege, I think!


Yes they do look good value and beautiful like all their iris plants.
Have you sorted out how to grow/get them over the winter in your garden?
Raised Bed I seem to remember you mentioning.
We have, this week, finally got round to tidying up our Iris bed on the
allotment luckily just before the rain arrived today.
We had two flower this year that we were convinced we had lost, indeed one
had never flowered before so we had forgotten we even had it (High Command).
Of course now they have seen it everyone want a piece.
Got to get down there and slug pellet the bed before they eat all the new
young shoots over winter, then it's some Growmore in early spring and that's
it until they flower.

ps. sorry I didn't send you (and others) any this year, I just didn't get
round to digging them up, it was so dry. Sorry.
