RE: Re: bias?

 

Morning Dorothy and all.
 
Many MDB's do well here.  I have 142, 20 of them yours, Dorothy.  Love 'em all, the little cuties.
 
In 2001, someone sent me a couple of species I. louisianas and I. virginica to try.  I felt bad when they didn't survive their first winter.

Hi Tom.
 
The reason so few people grow PCNs is that they are very difficult to grow in cold climates. I have tried them many times, but they just don't survive. The same is true of the arils and arilbreds except they are difficult to maintain in damp climates because they are desert plants. As president of the Dwarf Iris Society, I would like to see more people grow miniature dwarfs. However, they don't do well in hot, dry climates. TBs are grown most widely because they can adapt to most climates.
