[or-roots] Cooleys Irises

[ViolaRae Kassing]

Oooh, and lots of aahhh's.  I am planning on putting in some irises along
side my house (I just moved here a little over a year ago) and to get irises
with HISTORY would really be nice.  When do you divide them and could I buy
some.  (I'm tlaking about the purple or blue ones.)  

I've been trying to commit to buying some bulbs but . . .

I have Cooley's Irises, Sorry it I wasn't clear.  They are in full bloom on
Mother's Day here, I have plenty of visitors at the time of their best
blooming season. One year, a couple older ladies, got out of their car with
their little shovels and was going to help themselves. When I saw they had
what they had come after, I went out and ask what they were doing,  Their
reply, "Oh we knew your Dad and we just knew you wouldn't mind."  Well that
was the best Irises that I did not give away, because those ladies give me
something, that all the digging in old records will never reveal. Childhood
stories of my father. Things that make the genealogy fun and come alive.

Maxine,  
 
You said your roses were from Cooleys.  As in the Brownsville Cooleys?  
Every time my sister and I go into the Brownsville Museum and the volunteers
in there hear us laughing, they say they can always tell when descendants of
Capt Blakely or the Cooleys are in there because they  LAUGH all the time. 
As I recall there was a lot of interaction between the two families.  Weren
t they partners is a general store or something?  I have it somewhere, but I
ll bet Cecil will jump out of the shadows and tell us from right off the top
of his head!
<G>   Thanks,  Midge
