Pass Along Plants





Pass Alongs Shared By My Readers



Last week I shared a post

on a few of my iris plants that bloom

here in the gardens at Hyacinths for the Soul.





I mentioned that most of my iris

are "pass along" plants like these

beautiful Japanese rooftop iris transplanted

from a friend's garden last fall.

I was thrilled when several of my readers responded that

that they too enjoy "pass along" iris

in their own gardens.

They were passed along from her mother's garden,

but the original pass along had come

Wow, four generations have enjoyed these iris!

when she and the senior partner moved into

Maggie says she sees their relatives happily blooming

about the village in the gardens of her neighbors.
