By the time we got home a month later they were looking pretty well traveled. On September 28th I finally potted them up.
Just a temporary measure until I had a place ready for them in the ground. A few weeks later when they were settled into their pots I put them in the ground.
Imagine my surprise yesterday when I noticed one of them had started to flower. This dwarf Autumn Maple has certainly lived up to its name. December 5th, 74° but still Autumn. As the flower is only 1' tall I had to get down on my knees to check out the subtle fragrance. Sweet it is.

Looking like fall-spring will be your winter! Amazing iris, but with your weather, not surprised one bit.
How lucky are you? I love that color!
Love the "softness" of that color. Congrats on a fine purchase!
Lovely!I love the iris rebloom!
I have some dwarf but they only bloom in spring, you are lucky! and the color is delicious!
Yes, David. There have been several days when I myself was confused. The mourning doves and cardinals were singing and I was sure it was spring.
I am fond of most flowers in the brown range, and this maple bloom is yummy - well named. It resembles the dwarf I saw on Alan's blog It's Not Work it's Gardening, called 'Gingerbread Boy' (or Man?). His photo showed an electric blue shot of color on the falls. Good buy, Jenny!
I love the use of landscaping rocks in utah. And now I really want to go visit the gardens!
