Lonsdale Oncos

Yup, me and Old Nick get along just fine!

I do have a greenhouse but it only houses potted Onco seedlings until they
are 2 years old, at which point they go outside. I put the covers on the
Onco bed last weekend - good job because we just got 6" of rain in 2 days.
They are nice and dry and will stay that way until mid-September.

Spent today potting up paeony seedlings - they look great.

Best,

J.

or similar localities? And how does John Lonsdale manage to grow so
many of these (difficult) Irises so well in not the ideal climate?
Inquiring minds...

pact with the devil? :-) just kiddin...

he's done lots of research and tries to give them what they need to stay
happy.

it also helps to have a greenhouse where you can control the amount
of water they receive in the summer months... i think john has one of
those ? not sure.
