Day 225: One of the most rewarding "volunteers" in my yard is Siberian Iris. I was given a small clump of it when I first moved into my home over twenty years ago, and it quickly spread in the flowerbed to the point that I determined to root it all out to allow other plants breathing space. Lest you think this was an unkind punishment to inflict on such an amenable species, be assured that I simply moved it to a new home where it could proliferate to its heart's content. Today it lines approximately twenty feet of wire fence and provides me with all the bouquets I care to pick. I am not sure how this smaller clump came to be alongside my garage, but it is welcome to stay there.
