Victoria Falls Iris

We had to transplant some of our iris this past spring as part of our (unsuccessful) effort to keep the deer out of our roses. As a result, some of them didn’t bloom during their normal blooming season. But Victoria Falls, a beautiful blue iris, decided to bloom in late October. I hope she is saying that she approves of her new location.

Pink Parfait Rose

We’ve had to move new roses from the yard to containers on the deck to keep them out of reach of hungry deer. I haven’t had much experience growing roses in containers, so I wasn’t sure what to expect. But Pink Parfait rewarded us with a late October blossom, so I’m hoping we can keep some roses alive.
