Just starting to flower

Sorry

The majority of our Iris are the Japanese Iris - Iris ensata and a few Siberian iris

They sound like the are loving their new garden bed and 5 feet tall, that is good or are you really 4 feet tall and the look big. (Joking sorry)

If you are starting to see a hollow space forming in the centre of the clump then that is a good sign that the clump should be divided. What type of Iris do you have?

Sounds like you have everything going in the right direction now. With the Iris if you give them a good feed after they flower will get them in good shape for next season.

Well well . That’s good news and see anything is possible. Sometimes it comes down to the season other times it can be as a plant matures

Never say it can’t be done. The bulbs are normally purchased from January onwards for autumn planting. Dry bulbs are the best way of purchasing them. Keep an eye on Garden Express, Hancock Daffodils and VDQ Bulbs. Shop around.

It is a blue ixia. I think they may call it amethyst blue

We have had to rethink the layout and the type of plants so that I can still play in my garden as MSA takes its course

It is now late spring here in Australia and lately I have been able to spend more time in our garden even if if is just sitting and enjoying it. I hope to be able to get on a bit of a roll from here and show you the development of our new garden space.

I cut it back after each flush of flowers and it appears to work. I find it can become woody if not clipped regularly

We have a tiny garden now on 800sqm
