Welcome, Joanna. Yes, there should be Iris on the list…the Siberians are just about to pop here, and the few remaining beardeds that I haven’t smothered or shaded out as shrubbery got too big after so many years here. Iris! Thanks, and see you soon again.

What about Irises too? I agree with Andre the only cactus’s you see in England tend to be on a windowsills however at Kew Gardens they do exhibit some fine ones!

I just hit that milestone this year — when an old plant dies over the winter. I have a pot of sage, and one of the plants turned into a little dry stump. So I was able to buy a new variety to fill that hole. This is even more fun than growing them from seed, which I did with the first set (and it took forEVER – I’ve lost track of how many years ago I planted these). If another of the old ones dies next winter, I’m getting pineapple sage.
