Lady posted on Freecycle the other day that she had thinned out her iris beds and was GIVING AWAY dozens of purple iris and tall iris with yellow flowers. So, I jumped on it! I called her and they were still available. Drove the family over there and we collected about 100 plants.
Told her thank you and drove home and immediately started planting.
While we did put some in the ground, we also got creative! We just moved into this house and the previous owners left behind an old beat up kid's wagon, so I filled it up with dirt and irises and then yesterday, we were driving through town and found that someone was throwing out a beautiful old, sturdy wooden crate. I grabbed it and we're planting a bunch in there too!
