My Siberian iris is out now with myriads of dainty blue flowers held on upright thin stalks. It likes being beside the water. Dies down in the winter and comes away again in the Spring.

This little potfull could be put straight in the ground.
Thanks for looking.

The idea started with Samuel Parnell, a carpenter in Wellington, who in 1840 refused to work more than eight hours a day. Since skilled workers were in short supply, his employer had to agree.
As more skilled workers arrived, employers tried to change working conditions, but Parnell and others kept pushing for better rights. In 1890, Parnell led a Labour Day parade of 1,500 people to promote the eight-hour day. He passed away shortly after, and nine years later, Labour Day became an official public holiday.
