I am new to the iris.  Every couple of years a new plant grabs my intention
and this is the year for the iris.  I have been eyeing them for the past
couple of years, but never endulged.   I have much to learn about the iris.
I am a member of a few societies here in Raleigh, NC and enjoy the learning
experiences I get from them.  Also the cutting exchanges gives me a nice
variety of plants. 
I plan to join the Iris Society here in Raleigh area.  For the meantime, any
advice for planning an iris bed would be greatly appreciated.  What are some
of your favorite plans in laying out an iris bed?  I ordered a few from
Schreiners's Gardens to me started.

Thanks to all.
