I did see a couple of places where new growth had tried to emerge but the mulch was too thick. These are the JI's from Ensata planted May 7. 5 of the nine bloomed. One croaked as a result of my leaving it in a zip lock bag for about 3 weeks waiting for a good place to plant it. Pic of the 4 x 4 plot. The runt in the left front is a tiny branch of a couple of "wild" irises a lady gave me. |
