Lack of blooms can be from overcrowding, not enough fertilizer, too much or too little rainfall. If the corms works their way deep enough into the soil, they won’t bloom. Iris like to be almost on top of the ground.
Hope that helps!
The 15ft 'Saucer Magnolia' over my back fence has been beautiful the past two weeks, just went and peeked....it's about half blooms and half foliage.....looks good even in the dark....I'll try to remember and get a pic manana.
On another note related to your previous Squirrel pics....my next door neighbor has a grapefruit tree...at least 20' tall and full of fruit....I saw a grapefruit in my backyard ...bouncing up and down....with a squirrels head inside pigging out!....I took a pick....just for you w/ my cell phone.....I'll see if it came out.....guess it's time to get a good camera.
Thanks again for the ping list.
A good camera is about the cheapest thing you will ever buy, when you figure out how much pleasure you’ll get back from it. Just do some homework before you buy. Ignore thw hype, look for the beef!
Just got back here, thanks Gardengirl. I have all of these conditions. Have to look into doing something here.
Thank you for taking the time to post your pictures.
I go to FR exclusively for political news and get so caught up in the fray. I appreciate the reminder of what’s out there to experience beyond the usual doldrums.
I have a Raven couple that know me. Unfortunately, they would rather sneak peanuts that pose for photos!
