There is about 4 large rhizomes in this potful, and it has two flower spikes which just opened today, so they will last a while.

The large pot goes with the iris. The plant could go straight into the ground without much trouble.
Bearded iris are easy to grow. Drought and frost tolerant. Plant them with the rhizomes sitting on top of the soil so they can sunbathe and the roots firmed down underneath.

I'm scaling down and decided to let go my Louisiana irises for $5 a rhizome.
I have 4 colours ( pictured). I have one white and some plum ones labelled but the others are not labelled.

Louisiana irises love wet ground but can tolerate drying out.
They have large side plate size flowers. Quite spectacular.
Ive put a photo of the plants laid out. They are perfectly fine out of the ground for a few days or so and transplant easily.
Very easy care.

This year, Pam had a missing cat, which was quite out of character. Driver let the Hursts know, and they joined the search, successfully locating him in the gap between the ceiling and roof of their neighbour’s house.
Pam said “They rescued him and brought him home to me... complete with some scratches! I hate to think what would have happened had he not been found”.
Pam nominated the Hursts to let them know she is thankful for them: “It’s so good to know I have such caring neighbours who have my back. Thank you neighbours!”
Nominate someone in your hood, and your special neighbour could feature on Stuff and Neighbourly as an inspiration to us all (plus there are prizes to be won!).

I'm down sizing. Would prefer more room in my lounge than this lovely piece of furniture.
I'm pretty sure it is Mahogany. There is no customwood anywhere in the construction.
One large drawer and three smaller drawers.
Cabriole legs.
Drop handles.
In good second hand condition.

I've had one in a large concrete plant where it can fan out beautiful showing off its Gysolphilia like flower fronds about 15 years and its still doing well. ( I think it got its roots down through the hole in the pot into the ground though)

This Crinium lily flower is a delicate shade of pink with several blooms on a long fleshy stalk.
It has long soft strappy leaves and the plant grows about a metre high.
It has flowered 2 or 3 times a year for me.
It's a tiny bit frost tender, but hardy and easy to grow.
