I've just found you when I went looking for rose cultivating from cuttings, I'm in australia but love your channel and just wanted to say hi & thank you for your knowledge, my garden is predominantly roses & bearded iris, and my youngest daughter loves her succulents so she has her own space also.

I have a bunch of purple iris (name?) and last year I bought my first new iris Stairway to Heaven. It bloomed last year but not this year. It doesn’t appear too deep so maybe it’s too hot and dry or crowded. It’s also where a yucca plant was and still small sprouts of them appear and need removed as they are monsters here. I need to dig up a lot of coneflower, primrose and bee balm—if you have any spare time and energy come on over😂

Pamela, thanks for the information you shared in this video. I found some irises on clearance and now I know not to give them any starter fertilizer when I get them planted - which better be soon here in Zone 6b!

Good morning Pam! 😊
Your patio area is so lovely!

So fun! New iris! I can’t see you being greedy lol 😂
Made me smile this morning when I saw your video 👏🏻👏🏻
I appreciate you sharing how you plant in your iris. I think I’ve been planting mine too deep 🙆🏼‍♀️
Have a beautiful day and I hope you’re enjoying our cooler weather! Woo!

I learned to plant Iris from you when you went to Janey's new house, wow, that was awhile ago, that's when I found you and subscribed actually. I had forgotten that's where I found you, Yayy

Good Morning Pam, so nice to see this video because I am moving in spring and I have started potting up my favourite Iris plants to take with me. I potted them in part potting soil and part earth they were dug from and will store them in my unheated garage over winter. I haven't been seeing your videos even though I am subscribed to all your videos. I hope you are well. Love these choices you have and can't wait to see them blooming in your garden.
