The new iris bed I worked on last weekend.  The bed isn’t too new.  We installed it earlier this year but planted it with annuals.  I transplanted most of those to hanging baskets to make room for these irises.  A lot of of our newer irises did not bloom this year.  I read that if they are put into established beds they compete with older plants for nutrients and may not bloom.  So, I transplanted a lot of them to their own bed.  “Stick to your own kind, one of your own kind…”  Lets hope they are happy and will bloom next year!
