Post #5275054

I planned on digging up the old, old clumps of iris and tossing them. These have been on the property for at least 20 years and maybe as long as 50. Some clumps bloom every year. The flowers are extremely small and I thought they would get larger with TLC I broke up some and replanted them 2 years ago but the flowers are still small. They are an early bloomer and each plant sends up 6-8 stems of flowers. Their pale blue color (the picture is a little too lavander) and small size completely make me think my first thought (tossing them) is best but I see at dg that heirloom iris are popular. I'd hate to destroy them and then find out there are people who would like them. Kay
