UPDATES - iris and calla lily

Two weeks ago I expressed concern about having mixed up my Iris and I was clearly right; you can see the taller purple and shorter white/purple both in the Sun Garden

Clearly they are enjoying their conditions and they look good together...so will I ever follow up on my plan to move the white/purple to the Monet Garden?

Not for a while anyway: I would need to be there in person to see them bloom in spring and mark the ones to be transplanted in the fall, which means at least a year and  half before they can be moved.


  
The Calla Lily my friends' gave me is doing well and according to my mother (and a contractor doing work at our house!), it is a real stand-out in the Monet Garden.

I can see why.

    1. Thanks Brooke, glad you liked the Iris. Too bad I missed them in person this year but maybe I'll get to see them live next year. I'll definitely participate in your party again!
