Weeee'rrrre Baaaaccck!

And we had a great time. Unbelievable how fast a week can go.

I am catching up and catching my breath, but there is important business here at House of Blog.

The post-that-would-be-a-contest elicited three entries, and I choose all three to be winners of iris. Because I am like that, because here EVVVERRRYBODDDY wins!, because I have lots of rhizomes, because I make the rules here at Needles of Iron (with an 'iron' fist....not so much...but maybe!), and finally, just because!

So, Liz, Lynne, and Wunx~, send me your pertinent info, with regards to street addresses, to:

becky.perry at comcast dot net

and I will have your botanicals in the post, post-haste. Also, let me know if you need some directives regarding planting, care, feeding, walking, and potty training, etc. of the new babies, and I will enclose that as well.

I would only add this disclosure regarding printed directions. I use them mostly as guidelines, gardening an awful lot by instinct. Mostly if you follow these three things...good sun for a part of the day, don't let them get/stay too damp, and don't plant too deep (let the sun shine on the rhizomes), you should have good luck.

A parting shot....mostly for Wunx~... at Longwood Botanical Gardens in Philadelphia.

I am, indeed, a tree hugger.
