Repotting More Bearded Irises and Some Carnations. 12 Sept 23.

 I'm continuing to dig out bearded iris clumps, cleaning them up, and planting the best rhizomes in containers.



There are also some carnations that I grew last year.  They bloomed but never thrived.  I think it was bad potting soil.  Still, they survived the winter, spring, and summer again.  I decided to clean them up and repot.


As they were.


I dug out the four plants.


Cut off dead stems and scraggly stems, and hosed off as much soil as I could.


Planted three into one large container, and one in a smaller container.




I don't know if they will grow and thrive next year.  That's part of the fun.
