Iris in a friend’s boulevard. #FlowerReport

#25 is one of Minnesota's two native irises. I started with two plants several years ago but they've really taken off this year — more than 30 flowers and buds! (And more buds appear every day.)

🌱: Iris versicolor (northern blueflag iris)
📆: May 31, 2025

Ohio spiderwort, California poppies, and the first Bartzella Itoh peony flower. #FlowerReport

Sunday's 1/3-off discount sale report is posted, and there are more plants left than last year in ALL sections. Some things are sold out, of course, or have a very small # left but there are plants left that never have substantial quantities on Sunday. www.friendsschoolplantsale.com/shop-sunday-...

The plant sale is less than a week away! (Friday, Saturday and Sunday) The weather looks amazing. Remember, you can sign up for text messages when wristband numbers are called, or to be notified when wristbands are no longer needed. entry.friendsschoolplantsale.com

The 2024 plant sale catalog is available now! This link goes to the page where the catalog PDF is, but be sure to check the Find Plants page, where you can look at photos of the plants and "filter" by traits, including which plants are new this year. www.friendsschoolplantsale.com/catalog

Volunteer signups for the 2024 plant sale are live now. As usual - lots of traffic can make the first hour or two slow. Please be patient! www.friendsschoolplantsale.com/volunteer
