I'm sorry your season didn't go well. It IS so disheartening. I'd love to hear more about your heuchera.
OMG. I've discovered iris! I'm researching plants for large perennial bed. Since the deer eat roses here I'm going to put in peonies and thought maybe iris would go well with them. Now I'm really in trouble. Luckily my 20th anniversary is coming next month. I usually ask for new "gardens" instead of jewelry for big anniversaries.
