So I fell for the eye candy in the display and (against my better judgement?) bought some iris' in bags...in a very sad dried up state.... I tried to chose the ones (of the few left) that had a good sized rhizome and at least a faint hint of green...well the most green out of the batch anyway..which was still a prity sad yellow that may have been a green colour in a past life... I planted them tonight and we are expecting rain the next few days so maybe that will revive them...?
I've never tried to purchase iris this way due to my skepticism that they would survive. Anyone else have experience?
PS: in case you are wondering they were "Speeding Again" (couldn't resist...got two speeding tickets over the holidays...) and Tour de France, both re-blooming which is the only reason I was willing to take a chance on them. And I was sure to ask at the checkout that they were covered by their growing guarantee!
