I do not have anything that digs under the dirt. No animals anyway. Just tree roots. So many of my irises are planted in very large 42" x 8" fiberglass containers. They were very expensive but I think they will last a long time. Perfect place for my LA Irises. Good iris blooms to all of you. We have had high winds. Yesterday I was trying to straighten out one large stalk and broke it.

Spring in the Southwest brings high winds. But after what the South has been experiencing, I will never again complain about our wind.

These are snapdragons planted with irises I received from Sharon, Husker 11, last year. They are planted in one of the above mentioned containers. But I will have to find more space for them in September. They are growing and expanding daily. They are named but I do not have the names memorized yet. Sharon 3. Husker is confused. She is Sharon 2.
