Re: most popular irids

 

Good question. But, I have no idea. Where I live irids are not popular... which is why I've neglected them on the website (I can't write about what I don't know about). So if Watsonia & Romulea should replace something else on my list, please teach me!

Dennis in Cincinnati (where the only irids I grow are native Sisyrinchium, the others I've tried quickly died out)
