Thanks teacup, I shall surely do that. Another really bad picture from a different angle--believe it or not all the brown dead stuff is really far back in that corner. The back always looks so bad this time of year. The yellow hose really makes the shot--but at least there are some calla lilies blooming. You can sort of see in the lower right corner where they are roughly planted in triangular patterns. Lots of buds on the lower right corner--I think that's 'Early On'--an early Patrick O'Connor Iris. The back drains down into the iris bed and the front (where the gargoyle and the 2 still bare Cypress trees are) drains back into the iris. They are definitely planted in a low spot but in ordinary garden soil. I use lots of soil sulfur and holly tone; and I feed foliar.
