Sorry to hear about the death in the family.

I know what you mean about finding homes for plants - I'm currently thinning
my daylilies drastically. The iris bed is on the list for fall digging. I
find the division works best later in the year here.

I'm still willing to take some if we can figure out where to put them.

Also sorry to hear about the family loss.

On the garden topic - Cheryl will be glad to know that DH & I expanded a bed
in front, and got all the daylilies planted on Sat - unfortunately taking
til about 1:15 (meaning very hot and humid). They're all happy - I think -
with new mulch, etc. Just so you know - used another 280# of good top soil,
and 3 more huge bags of the organic soil amendment stuff we use. What fun.
At least one of the plants is sending up new growth.

Thanks to all for your thoughts. It wasn't unexpected. DA lasted
longer than expected and fortunately was in little pain.

I took a bag full of iris up the street to a woman who had always
commented on them when she was walking her kids back from
the bus stop. We're known as the house with all the iris on the
street. And all these came from the next door neighbor. When
she was dividing them she dumped some on the lot before my
parents built the house They just came up after having been
moved around in the top soil. She gave more to DF some years
later. Of course this is all over 50 years ago and so they been
divided more times than we can count and literally grow almost
anywhere.

Next....a "Free Iris" sign if the girl from the house painter's office
doesn't come pick hers up.
