Thank You!!

It's growing in my greenhouse in a 10" pot. Here it is. I got this one summer before last,it was just a sprig. They grow pretty fast.



I have not tried one outside here yet. I have one growing in a 5" pot that I started at the beginning of last summer that I will probably try in the ground to see what happens. Here is the one in the 5" pot. I started it at the beginning of last summer and it was just a sprig also.

My, they grow fast!  Outdoors will they spread out along the ground with new shoots, or just keep growing larger in the original spot?

Looks like you are in the right climate for these!   Can't wait to see them bloom!

This one is inside my greenhouse Judy,I don't know if it will grow in my climate or not. I can control the climate in the house.

It has already bloomed Judy. Look back at the first page in this thread. You must have missed it.

I think they will spread Jeanne,hence the name walking iris,The bloom falls over to the ground and takes root starting a new plant.

Thanks, Don.   That's what I suspected.   

It is absolutely beautiful!

Well my walking Iris has bloomed again. I caught it this time before it opened.

This frame was shot at 9:57 AM



This frame was shot almost 2 hrs later at 11:42 AM




A close up



This makes twice it has bloomed from the same plantlets.

WOW these are beautifu l pictures.  I can't wait to see Pat's when she gets it. 

Oh the seeds are planted.

So pretty and so delicate!  Thanks, Don.

Well, my little impulsive snapshot of those blooming plants near our apartments won't even BEGIN to come into the league of these, Don!

It's so fascinating about the walking iris!
