Winter Iris Photos
Comments (3)Wow, your's have much better leaves in the snow, than mine have without snow. I think the rainy season is why. Most of my leaves tend to rot off in the winter, but the plants get a good start in Spring....See MoreIris Photos
Comments (8)I love irises! I'm waiting for my new Schreiner's catalog so I can order more to plant in the fall! Our lives have been in a whirlwind during the past year. I cannot find my info that I saved on my irises so I'm not 100% sure of all of their names. But here is what I have blooming right now... This is the last of my dwarf irises. I also have dark purples and periwinkles. And the Tall bearded.... I believe this is Autumn Tryst... Dynamite.... These are very special to me because when my grandma passed away in September 2002 I dug up a small chunk of her garden. I thought I was digging up Star of Bethlehem since those were what I grabbed a hold of as I pulled them up with the soil. But lo and behold these babies came up the following spring. I didn't have a clue I had rhizomes as they had already died back by the time I dug my treasure up. I don't know their name...they are old though. This pic is from last year. They bloom mid-season. I LOVE them!! I never did get any Star of Bethlehem but I do have something unfamiliar growing along side of Grandma's irises now....I have no clue what they are. The leaves are iris-like but thin and whippy and you can see a few small white buds forming. For all I know I have another treasure...I would love them to finally be the Stars! Any ideas would be appreciated. Kristy :)...See Morephotos of Larry's irises
Comments (17)Mine (Colorado) would have bloomed if my big dog didn't break it off! I was amazed at how well it grew and to have a bloom in the making!!! Last fall I had doubts it would survive. I am looking forward to next year! I need to make some round wire fences for plant protection!...See MoreHi All, it's Larry!
Comments (23)Gee it's great to hear from all of ya. My background in irises goes back only 25 years... The house I just left to come to this community was purchased just for the space large enough for growing irises.. Thus I was able to grow approx 1,200. However after I moved here All my garden layout maps were destroyed and all my garden books were donated to the American Iris Society Region One.. Never the less I will attempt to keep in touch with G.W. and answer as many irises questions as I can .. Okay ? THANX for all the nice things you said about my new friend, Lisa.. She is GREAT ! Love, Larry from Massachusetts...See Morecolcol
