UK t-shirt? Why haven't I seen this wonderful article and picture by now????

I keep thinking I'm going to put bulbs in, but 11 years later I still haven't. Maybe this fall?

You should! Experiment along with me

And thanks AGDee- I'm going to look at what I have and see how to make it work. I have daffodils for mid-spring and tulips for late spring. I have a border walkway that has been through many iterations of plantings over the past 4 years and none of them has been a winner yet. Maybe these will pull it off.

I also bought three kinds of blue irises- light blue, dark blue, and blue & blue. I was amazed to find those options at Lowes and Home Depot! They will go with my purple irises in another spot, though... I need to figure out how to divide those too.

Carnation- I seem to recall you saying that dividing irises can be tricky. Any tips?
