Re: Vic -- Iris tridentata

Dennis,
         How do you grow tridentata?  Is it in the open garden, or in a 
special soil mix?  I grow the clone that JPW has been distributing, in 
ordinary garden soil, but it only flowers about once every three 
years.  I've been meaning to try it in a mini-bog (large container filled 
with sand & peat).
         Victor, do you perhaps have some photos of different types? I know 
we'd all like to see some of the diversity.
