09 Louisiana Iris
« on: April 05, 2009, 11:23:16 AM »
Most of my Iris got flattened and ripped loose by Hurricane IKE last year.
I ended up pulling them all out and just throwing them in an extra kiddie pool.
No soil, no fertilizer, just some water and over time some algae.
Still they look awesome.
A few from today.

Lovely Tim & that is incredible that they will do so well even without soil.  Wish I had some room to grow more bog plants, especially LA iris.

There is never enough room for all of the water lilies that I want ;-)

I really like them. The only downside is that they bloom once a year and the rest of the time just green strappy foliage.
At least with all of the different varieties I have, they bloom over a 2 month period.

Beauties!  Your irises must love the neglect.  Mine are spoiled and only send up a few blooms every year  >:(
