Such pretty Irises. I love Irises! Someone just gifted me a few as she was dividing an area in her yard. They are still in a clay pot in the alley, one of a few things I have left to get into the ground and/or pot up.

I think the reason all of that LIriope is out there is because it withstood the rain run-off and hid any rutting in the soil that the run-off caused. I am tempted to just put in more Liriope and be done with it, but it does not make for a pretty or interesting bed and is not very satisfying. I am also seriously considering stepping stones along there. Stepping stones should stop the ruts from forming and also give me a path to the front of the house.
Fate gives all of us three teachers, three friends, three enemies, and three great loves in our lives. But these twelve are always disguised, and we never know which one is which until we've loved them, left them, or fought them.
