Thanks for answering the question I did not ask - whether gophers were a problem with Iris'. Picked up some yellow and purple ones at the DG RU yesterday, but not from Weegy. So baskets it is, it sounds like. What about Cannas? How are they with gophers? I had 2 6" pots of yellow ones from Desert Pirate that I have in 2 huge terracotta pots, but they need to be divided, plus I have some new bulbs too. I know, it seems too late to plant, but this is when I transplanted them last year.
I am envious of all your photos. I know Kelli that you are only a zone away, but my lantana seemingly bit the dust from the cold. I do see a few new leaves on mine, but yours are huge and full of blooms! The Lady Banks was starting to bloom, but after the horses, this is what is left - one tenacious rose and almost no foliage.
The petunias bloomed all winter, go figure, first time I planted annuals. BTW, those are the big pots with the canna bulbs.
