VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) 

Participation will make the difference this year. Engaging in new adventures, learning and directing your energy into things you enjoy will pay off. You have plenty to gain but also to lose if you neglect personal responsibilities. Manage your temper, finances and consumption with care. If you don't pay enough attention to what's going on behind the scenes at home or with your finances, you'll be forced to backtrack. Take control before you suffer a loss.

The iris: Planting, growing a beauty

Article Image Alt Text

I know many people locally who grow irises, and admire them in their gardens every late spring to early summer. The iris is named for the Greek goddess who rode astride rainbows, and the colors of the flower are appropriately colorful.

You will enjoy having it in your garden. It’s hardy and pretty easy to maintain, otherwise this lazy gardener wouldn’t bother.

They are a magnet for butterflies and hummingbirds, and you will love making arrangements with the cuttings from this beauty.
