Yellow Iris

I planted yellow Bearded Irises yesterday evening. They were from "Aspen" and had been some of the dozen or so that her husband and I dug up at their house last week. The Irises were sitting in a bucket of water underneath a shady tree ever since... it is a wonder that they hadn't rotted yet! We have a large (3 feet in diameter and4 feet long) log lying next to a wooded area of our yard. I thought that it would be a nice backdrop to an assortment of perennials.... and they all would be visible when looking out of the dining room window. In the 90+ degree day I quickly dug up a section of sod and began a new garden... The Irises, and 2 other plants have a new home. I hope to extend the area soon and add some Day Lilies.
