I love how gardens can be a tribute and a memorial to those we love. I think irises are easy to grow - just don't plant them too deeply. They give back way more than they ask for! I have always wanted a true "iris walk", but am unwilling to buy all that would be needed. However, we have a lot of free "cemetery irises" around here, (most of the irises I have in my garden are these) so I may one day get that iris walk after all. I say go for it! It will be beautiful, and a beautiful sentiment.HolleyGardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14892421871044249940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4229841509165139361.post-7690013048365728752013-02-14T04:24:41.162-08:002013-02-14T04:24:41.162-08:00Iris remind me of my grandmother too, as she grew ...Iris remind me of my grandmother too, as she grew them in a circle around her birdbath. They were the first flower to make an impression on me. Sadly, I don't have the sun to cultivate the ones you show here, but I do grow the cristata and tectorum species in my shady garden.

I did plant some roof iris last fall, I'm hoping they will do well next spring!Jasonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00671760671850555664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4229841509165139361.post-56052104197990292892013-02-13T14:43:18.304-08:002013-02-13T14:43:18.304-08:00Iris are one of those plants that you have to get ...Iris are one of those plants that you have to get planted just right.
