This is a pretty bad pic but they do stand up on their own. There is a large shrub behind me that badly needs trimming so I can't show wide view it very well--also lots of other stuff that needs cleaning up (at least the iris part is not cluttered up--lol). Mine are really heavily mulched--probably deeper than a lot of people do but we have very hot summers and the rhizomes will scorch like crazy if I don't. I have a lot of buds now--definitely not the first, but I use all organics. Actually, I just fed them for the first time last weekend. I definitely have some "different" cultivars so ya'll might enjoy that. They will be blooming by next week end--about 8 are going to bloom at one time. I get the majority of mine from Louisiana hybridizers, so not the usual varieties most of the mail order places carry.
