08 June - Water Iris


We purchased two water irises from a Sonoma County nursery specializing in water plants.

The raccoons immediately took to them by digging them up and tossing them out of the waterfall.

Phil put cinderblocks in the middle of the two larger levels of the waterfall, then carefully wedged the irises' containers into the cinderblocks.

That did the trick.

A few weeks after the irises had settled in, this one went into bloom while the other continues to send up new growth.
