| Introduction | My Blog about my garden at Otara Birch, Rongotea, New Zealand. I love growing Japanese irises, called 'Iris ensata'. The Japanese iris love full sun, making fabulous water loving plants, water feature plants in drifts of summer colour, around or beside the edges of your ponds, streams and lake sides. When in bud, I pick their long stems, using them for cut flowers in a heavy base vase and watch the huge blooms unfold over time in front of my very eyes. Pure magic. They are plants that love wet feet and dry ankles. In my shady areas are hostas. The hostas are great companion plants planted in half sun to dappled shady areas. Here are my joys about these wonderful perennial plants that give me so much pleasure. |
| Interests | Hybridising, propagation and growing of Japanese and Siberian Irises, Hostas and Deciduous Daylilies. Budding and grafting of rare and hard to grow plants. |
