My garden is full of bits and pieces of unidentified tubers from other gardens.

I went to one a number of years ago north of Toronto and your post reminds me I should go back in the next couple of weeks.

The way an iris grabs you in the flesh, as opposed to seeing a pic in a catalogue, is pretty amazing. I found myself walking over to several and thinking: I must have THIS one! (Great we have digital cameras now, so we don’t forget our faves.)

Now if I could only remember where this grower was….those little torn pieces of paper we carry around aren’t always available when we want them!

Off to Google!
