Thought about titling this post "An Overabundance of Wisdom," since irises are a symbol of wisdom in flower terms, and boy do we have a surplus.
Readers will know I've been progressively tackling cleaning up the gardens at Struan Farm. I'm on the last side of the gardens at the Homestead (more about the onion weed I'm encountering there and digging out later this week). As part of this process I'm also having to dig up and divide dahlias and irises that are seriously overgrown. I've learned that dahlias are meant to be divided every 4-5 years, and irises 2-3. And I can see why!
I've been giving these away to good homes along with spare dahlia tubers.
