Am I right in thinking iris's will have all flowered ny now?
My cheapo bargain is growing like triffid but with no sign of flowers yet
Does it need food? What can I give it bearing in mind the fish and frogs are in the pond.
Or am I just being impatient? ???
hi maz u are ok maz my verigatad iris has not flowered yet most of them have but i think the verigated iris flowers a little later, you can buy aquatic pond tablets that u just push down into the pots and then it feed just the plant and not the water or the blanket weed dont buy liquid feed as that will feed the blanket weed , the tablets are completley safe to aniamls so your frogs and fish will be ok. :) :) :)
PS talk to it nice maz and it will sure to flower ;D ;D ;D
I have had a variegated iris for 4 years and this is the first year it is going to flower, it is just a bud at the moment. I am so excited. Don't give up hope yet Maz.
Hi Maz
Its most likly the fish poo thats feeding the iris thats making it grow so well for you. I rinse the filters out and diulite it for feeding plants best growing stuff there is. So dont over feed it. It will flowers in good time had to get my iris out of the pool the fish were eating it they are devils.
Mine only started to flower last week Maz, so dont worry just yet :-*
......... and some of mine are only in bud. Others have a long way to go yet. That's what comes from living in Scotland - everything is way behind!! :(
Ah , so Im being impatient then. Thanks everyone. :-*
Dibber I shall stop threatening to cut its roots off with sharp secateurs if it dosent flower and be reeeeeeal nice to it. ;D
that may have something to do with why it has not yet flowered maz lol ;D ;D ;D
