Beautiful irises – I love them! (Unfortunately, so do slugs and snails!)

Thanks for that.. I didn’t realise! Haven’t noticed them looking particularly ‘eaten’ at all but maybe later in the season. Don’t know.

I guess it depends if it’s an area that makes a good habitat for slugs and snails – might be dry or gritty enough to protect the irises.

Thanks Louella! No special editing, the swirl look was already there.. probably because there was a gusty wind lol 🙂
