When Spring arrives, the flower I look forward to greeting the most is Iris!  She's so lovely, and her fragrance can rival even the rose. : )  I was discussing irises, recently, with an e-mail friend, and she was telling me about some irises she has that are growing in a hot spot.  She was worried about them and thought she'd transplant them to a better spot.  I told her about the strangest places I've seen irises growing.       Once, when I was walking my dog on the desert, we came across a place where someone had dumped their garbage.  Guess what was growing and blooming on top of the rubbish heap?  Yep, an iris, it was a bearded iris, no less!       Another time, I was driving past a hill that had no houses nor visible water source close by, and guess what was growing and blooming right there on the hillside, as bold and as lovely as you please?  It was, again, Miss Iris!  Once again it was a lovely, large bearded iris, too!  Can you believe it?!       Speaking of rubbish heaps, a couple of years ago, I was making compost heaps, right on the ground, way out in the back of my yard.  I had been depositing my rabbits' droppings on the heaps, as well as prunings from the yards, and I had thrown some extra irises, that I had thinned out (bearded irises), on the compost heaps.  Guess what's thriving this day, and blooming , where those compost heaps were?  There's no sprinkler system out there either, and our temperature soars to upper 90's in the summertime!

Iris flowers vary greatly in colour, shape and size but in general structure all are the same: Each flower has six segments in two sets of three The three upper segments are petals and called standards The three lower segments are called falls Between standards and falls are three flat-coloured bands which arch over the stamens. These are style-arms.

Updated weekly on Sunday Night.

The plant can grow from 1-5 feet high and wide. A mighty appearance to be sure. The leaves are flat swords about one inch wide. The flowers are like miniature iris blooms. They are oh so delicate and cute and appear as if they are walking way from the plant on their long stems. Generally, the bloom will appear when the plant is pot bound or two years in age. Often in a fast growing situation or a warmer zone, this will happen in one year. In colder zones, this plant needs to come inside for the winter. In warmer zones of nine and higher they can be planted in the ground, or if lucky with a beneficial microclimate the plant may survive in zone 8. The best growing condition is sun to half shade, especially if it is morning sun. As always, a good drained soil is required - although the plant can tolerate a moist situation. I like growing mine in a clay pot.

This is where I talk about gardening. I am trying to transform a patch of sandy Michigan soil into a flower bed- mostly perennials, and to keep the deer and rabbits from eating it all before I can enjoy it. Also, I am working on a rock garden to stabilize a steep slope. It's hard to beat playing in the dirt! you can now search this entire website from the home page take me there now! A long view of the rock hill. The rock garden seems to be becoming my passion. It's looking good after 10 years of working on it. (Well, on a budget! I supposed unlimited time and money could have made it nice sooner, but what fun is that?) Lots of my friends have asked to see what's in the rock garden. This kind of garden has to be viewed in little pieces although an overall pleasing effect is also part of the goal. Close-ups of species are being added to the comprehensive (eventually!) list below. Species in the Rock Garden - picture will appear in a pop-up window. Simply close it when you're done looking there are hundreds of different plants in the rock garden, but I'll work on bringing this list up to date

This plant was my grandfather's passion. As I advertisement adored my grandfather, it soon became clear that if I wanted to spend any type of quality time with the man, I had better love irises, too. Thus I learned about irises and, by extension, gardening in general. By the age of eight I had advanced sufficiently in my grandfather's rather stern estimation to merit my own row behind the garage. This was Grandpa's "trial garden" where he tested his new crosses. It was quite an honor (Grandpa didn't let just anybody fool around with his beloved irises). The depth of my childhood pride is mirrored in the fact that after more than a quarter century I can still recall the evocative names of my first irises in the order they appeared in the rows: Pacific Palisades, Latin Lover, Winter Olympics, Stepping Out and so on down the line. By the age of nine I had bred my own hybrids (nothing spectacular, I'm sorry to say). By age 10, I was one of the youngest members of the American Iris Society. Advancement came quickly in the iris ranks.

Ellis in Taylor's Guide to Growing North America's Favorite Plants. This photograph- and information-packed handbook profiling "proven perennials, annuals, flowering trees, shrubs, and vines" was recently released in softcover (Houghton Mifflin; $22). Bearded irises "are sometimes listed as I. germanica, although they actually are hybrids between that species and several others," Ellis explains. Other popular irises, to name but a few, include I. ensata (Japanese iris) and I. siberica (Siberian iris), two beardless varieties possessing grasslike leaves and short rhizomes. I. tectorum (roof iris) tolerates dry soil and shade, while I. pseudacorus (yellow flag) will grow with up to 10 inches of water over the crown. In addition to these rhizomatous varieties are those grown from bulbs, often planted as annuals in this article

60. Intermediate Iris Factsheet - Gardening Australia - ABC Intermediate iris. 15/12/2000 There are three forms of bearded iristall, intermediate and dwarf. The wellknown tall bearded http://www.abc.net.au/gardening/stories/s229775.htm

Home Presenters Fact Sheets Plants ... Shop Email this page Print-friendly Intermediate Iris There are three forms of bearded iris: tall, intermediate and dwarf. The well-known tall bearded iris tolerate alkaline as well as acidic soils and flower in late October through to late November, if planted in a sunny aspect. The smaller, more compact, dwarf bearded iris flower from August to mid-September. They flower best in areas with cold frosty winters. Tall bearded varieties have an open flower, making them susceptible to wind damage. In windy areas use late-flowering cultivars to avoid the worst spring winds while flowers are in bloom. The more compact intermediates are popular where space is a consideration. They provide many flowers on shorter stems that can withstand wind better than the taller types. Intermediates flower from early October to mid-November, with the full colour range of the tall varieties. Iris 'Whoop 'em Up' has the characteristic of setting many blooms at the same time. To obtain the intermediate form, cross a tall bearded variety with a dwarf bearded variety. Since these crosses are usually sterile, a supply of parent stock will be needed from which to breed. Take pollen (male) from the dwarf flowers and store in the freezer or chiller. This is necessary because the two types don't flower at the same time. In November, introduce the pollen to the female stigma of the tall bearded iris. The progeny exhibits the form of the female plant and the colour of the male plant. To get progeny the other way round, delay the flowering of the dwarf form by keeping a container-grown plant in the chiller, so it flowers in October or November. This plant can then be pollinated by pollen from the tall bearded iris. The progeny will have the full colour range of the tall bearded iris, including white, cream, yellow, mauve and purple.
