She'd say, "Oh, the flags are up!" I've never heard anyone else call them that, but it still makes me smile and of course I perpetuate the image.

I would love to trade some Iris! I only have a few colors but have some to trade. I have a nice purple and white,the aformentioned yellow/gold and two that I have tons of are what I call old-fashioned-smaller than most bearded but very profuse,a bright purple and a pale yellow. Pam, I checked your blog but couldn't figure out how to do the swap list you mentioned! So (anyone) that has plants to trade could e-mail me at jkloveless@verizon.net Oh and if anyone needs some lily-of-the-valley I have a large patch that needs divided!
