Curbstone Valley Farm is located near us and we compare notes - interesting she mentioned Iris fernaldii in her comment -- I just recently learned from an expert that the local iris I'm propagating might be that species and not I. douglasiana. Ah the blogosphere, gotta love how it lets us talk together.Country Mousehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13294472166693008328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1238455425302784387.post-44690270872609440592010-06-04T19:35:09.571-07:002010-06-04T19:35:09.571-07:00Elephant's Eye, sure sounds familiar!

So, boy was I surprised to see the two blooms when I was messing around with the drip line in the area. <br /><br />Clare, I'm very hopeful now that the iris will bloom more consistently from this point on. I'm totally with you on the Collinsia: they are sooo beautiful, and once in a blue moon we'll even get a couple with pure white blossoms. Just doesn't get any better than that!camissonia (Arleen)https://www.blogger.com/profile/10156059239148602974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1238455425302784387.post-81349182989794165262010-06-04T16:03:56.970-07:002010-06-04T16:03:56.970-07:00We don't have the Douglas iris here, although ...We don't have the Douglas iris here, although it is native to this area. We do have Iris fernaldii though, but ours long since finished blooming, and have set a lot of seed pods this year. I'm hoping for many more next year! I hope now your Douglas iris is settled, it will bloom more regularly for you now. <br /><br />I have to admit, I love Collinsia. Yours looks about like ours does at the moment, just a profusion of beautiful blossoms!Curbstone Valley Farmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06714297348566721344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1238455425302784387.post-69671101539840544032010-06-04T06:18:49.533-07:002010-06-04T06:18:49.533-07:00You have more patience with your irises than I wou...You have more patience with your irises than I would have lol.Kynahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13222304237028745181noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1238455425302784387.post-71000351707122976082010-06-04T04:14:00.583-07:002010-06-04T04:14:00.583-07:00As I tried growing proteas, fine up on the mountai...As I tried growing proteas, fine up on the mountain.
