OT-BIO: Sandra Barss


Hi, everyone.

I live just southeast of Winnipeg, Manitoba (Canada) in Zone 3.  I have
been reading some of the archives and it is nice to see other people
from Zone 3 in this group.

I have been growing irises for just three years now and am still trying
to find out which irises will survive and bloom after our winters.  I am
currently growing SDB, BB, IB, MTB, and TB irises, as well as, Siberian
and versicolor irises.  I would also like to try Spuria Irises, too.

I would be interested in knowing what irises other people in Zone 3 are
having luck with.

In terms of TB I have had the following irises be reliable bloomers for
me:

Oregon Skies
Jesse's Song
Stepping Out
Merlot (first year), but came through winter looking great
Rhonda Fleming
Black Tie Affair
Swingtown
Thunder Spirit
Tempting Fate
Snowmound
and I even had Pagan Dance rebloom for me last year in September.

Thanks.
