These are my purple irises. I have maroon ones too, but they aren't in bloom yet. You can see my stalk that fell. I am unsure what to do with it. My mom said it may come back up and be OK> These smell so good! If anyone wants to tube them, go ahead. If you are just using the photo, credit would go to Guinevere Johnson

I will tube them once supper is over and I get settled down for the evening. If someone else is going to do them please tell so I don't do them. It will be a few hours though.
Beautiful flowers, I love irises

Those are pretty, Grassy. For the one that fell over.....do you have a long thin stick, like a dowel rod? Stick it in the ground next to it and tie it up gently with a long twisty. They'll be dying off soon so you can just cut it down.
Thanks for sharing your photos.

Beautiful. Thanks. I'm just gonna hold onto the photos for future use. I'm not up to tubing at the moment.

I am not a good tuber. There's so many tubes out there already. I will just reap the benefits of everyone else's hard work.
Thanks for the stalk help Susy. I will look for a dowel. Would a zip tie work?

It will if you don't tie it tightly Grassy. You just want to help it stand up, not choke it. Like Susy said once they die, just cut it back and it will come back next year. Maybe a cat or the wind got to it and knocked it over.

When I was a child, we had very few flowers. I thought irises were the most exotic flowers ever.

I love irises. It looks like they are sticking their tongues out. Hee.
