The large pot goes with the iris. The plant could go straight into the ground without much trouble.
Bearded iris are easy to grow. Drought and frost tolerant. Plant them with the rhizomes sitting on top of the soil so they can sunbathe and the roots firmed down underneath.

Louisiana irises love wet ground but can tolerate drying out.
They have large side plate size flowers. Quite spectacular.
Ive put a photo of the plants laid out. They are perfectly fine out of the ground for a few days or so and transplant easily.
Very easy care.

This year, Pam had a missing cat, which was quite out of character. Driver let the Hursts know, and they joined the search, successfully locating him in the gap between the ceiling and roof of their neighbour’s house.
Pam said “They rescued him and brought him home to me... complete with some scratches! I hate to think what would have happened had he not been found”.
Pam nominated the Hursts to let them know she is thankful for them: “It’s so good to know I have such caring neighbours who have my back. Thank you neighbours!”
Nominate someone in your hood, and your special neighbour could feature on Stuff and Neighbourly as an inspiration to us all (plus there are prizes to be won!).
