We brought our cannas outta the barn before last week... We just keep them in decorative containers... That way we can ove them around... That is what we are doing with hostas as well... The voles have become such a problem that that is about the only way to have them without them getting eaten from uderneath... The metal hardward cloth/mesh work but makes dividing them a nighgmare...

BTW, we are home from the azalea convention... The car is still packed to the gills as we bought as many plants as we could possibly stuff in the poor thing...

Still raining here with no end in sight... I can live with that...

Irises can be expensive but there are som many reasonably priced full-sized and dwarfs that unless you are a hyridizer there's no reason to spend alot on $$$ on them... We bought a native iris crestada for the plant sale at the convention but found one that has a sport... Guess where that one is??? Yup, we have it and we'll see... Maybe something special... It does happen occasionally when the DNA get's a little mixed up...

BTW, I met Buddy Lee, the guy who hybridized the Encore Azalea, at the convention... He's alot younger than I thought but super nice guy...
