I have blue and white irises in my garden and I really have to start writing about it. I'm very proud of my garden, it was almost barren dirt, nothing else, and now it's a little paradise that I get a lot of credit for from people visiting the restaurant.

I got the irises from a friend of mine, she was weeding out hers and gave me around 20 bulbs. That was 5 years ago, since then, I've lightened the rows of mine around 3 times, and gave away more or less 10kg of iris bulbs. The biggest part went to Lily's school, as those plants are resilient little buggers and can sustain the handling of children quite well.
