I hate reading these forums and learning I've been doing things wrong. Maybe the bearded irises just love my sandy extremely well drained soil. I pretty much ignore them, except to rip out some of the excess every 2-3 years (to give away - at the wrong time of year, even - we have a garden exchange in June)

This is the iris I'm talking about. It was in the garden when I moved into the house, so I don't know its name. I was walking by a patch of them one sunny day about two years ago and realized that they are very fragrant as well!
