  3. After letting my kale bolt earlier this spring, I'm with you. I think the flowers are fabulous, and 9 out of 10 pollinators around here agree! Your Iris is lovely too, I really like the pale purple.

  4. Great combo! Why is it I never remember kale until it is too late to add it to the garden?

  5. Someone once told me to cut the kale flowers off so the plant would last longer. I am glad I ignored their advice.

  7. Yes, great combo. My Irises are not open yet! Guess they need to be in more sun.?.?
