Lost and found

Dear Jane;
Very brave of you to admit to loosing a bucket o' bulbs. I
tend to put odds and ends aside and then months later rediscover
them. Oops.

Tall bearded iris are notoriously 'forgiving' in this regard.
Although I DID NOT do this, a friend who moved recalls finding a box
of iris rhizomes packed in newspapers in the garage 2 years after the
move!!. They were planted and the majority still managed to grow and
bloom eventually.

The power of survival. Jim W.
