Tracy, all that sounds great. If you like vegetation, and I personally really, really do, then getting an early start with something preferable to an invasive is important.
Dumb me had no clue that Iris were bog plants. T Overton was here last Monday, and specifically mentioned Iris. We have hundreds of them, so I'll hopefully move some to the ponds this week. I wonder if they pop up in late winter like other Iris'?
I'm glad Joe Snow could help. Now, if you really want me to spend your money, there's Creative Gardens in Garland (East Dallas suburb). They have a great selection of hardy water lilies. I'm making a trip there Weds to pick up some more.
