In This Universe The Night was Falling,The Shadows were lenghtening
towards an east that would not know another dawn.
But elsewhere the Stars were still young and the light of morning lingered: and
along the path he once had followed, Man would one day go again.

Dennis your pictures are lovely. Do you think when your garden blooms
you'll be able to re-tag them with the help of the photos you've
saved? I'm sorry that happened to your garden.

Starlord, it's amazing that assholes abound in just about every state. And
sad to say that trailer trash (the people who have unfortunately made the
word a commonality) are the same everywhere. My grandmammy always said
assholes came in an assortment of colors like a patchwork quilt. That some
of the colors got along just fine sewed together and others clashed as soon
as you laid them down to piece them up..........

I can believe that people cut your hoses, and pulled up the tags of your
irises. I'm surprised more than people didn't cut them and take them as
flowers for their own homes. I remember watching one particular Gardener's
Diary with Erica Glasner on HGTV and there was a middle aged women who with
the help of her brother had turned a sloping area in Cherry Creek in Denver
into an incredible perennial garden. But over the years she'd started doing
this (with tons of soil and plants, water schlepped by hand in watering
cans, etc by her and her brother and at the cost of all the plants and seeds
and such to herself because she loved doing it) the area along side the
gardens was paved and the city put a bicycle trail for the local people.

She didn't have a problem with that, as mother's with their carrages and
children could enjoy the plants as they walked or rode the trail, but her
complaint to Erica was that people thought the plants were just WILD and
were there for the taking. And she wasn't talking about just picking or
cutting the georgous flowers, she said one day she saw a man step into an
area and pull a plant up by the roots and take the whole thing, and when she
confronted him, he said they were wild and there for the public.

The idiot had no idea that the plant he pulled up (it was an incredible
shasta daisy, and not your wild variety, it tamer hybrid variety, Alaska)
had been purchased, planted and nurtured by this woman...... I sat there
enthralled at her labors of love, but appalled at the sheer stupidity or
meanness of people regarding gardens.

As I find out the names I will send them to you...... your irises are
beautiful. Have you considered Louisiana irises to grow? visit this website
and ask for their catalog.......
