I thought I had bought small Dutch irises but instead some tall (beautiful, blue and yellow) irises came up. I went back to the label and they were indeed Dutch irises and the label did say 22", but I had small irises on the mind and never paid attention to the height when I bought them. I now need to move them.rochefleuriegardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06783773632775842680noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33294007.post-12667705683572116242013-07-07T17:50:48.278+00:002013-07-07T17:50:48.278+00:00I wonder if I should call them weeds, Rooko, being...I wonder if I should call them weeds, Rooko, being a plant in the wring place?
