Irises

Apparently irises are really hardy.  We were given a box last summer, well they never got planted and we didn't get them thrown away.  My friend Christine's husband took out their irises and was telling us how tolerant they are, how they grow anywhere just tossing them on soil.  So we took the chance and planted the ones we were given.  I just can't believe that quite a few of them came up, after sitting in a box through the hot summer and cold winter just out by our steps!  What a blessing.  Christine is also giving us some of the ones they pulled up soon, so we will have those as well :)
