I probably shouldn't have used that picture - it's from about 4 years ago, when I first got it and now that I look at it, the foliage is pretty!

But, here is a picture from this year. Over 4 years, I've divided and moved the one iris and now have about 5 scattered around. I've turned them into nomads, because I keep moving them, which may be part of the problem! See how bizarre the foliage is? One is standing unnaturally straight up, the other strangely parted in the middle. (I wonder if a basketball from next door got it . . . )

I do llike Naomi's massing of them and her sword like fronds. Maybe I should just pick a spot and leave them alone! Thanks, all!

P.S. I'm a little embarrassed by this picture : ( . . . I'm trying to grow a couple of bronzey leaved ninebark and a gold bayberry into a composition, but this is their awkward first year!
