Memorial Day Irises

Hi Colleen,

Jeff Walters told you all about Memorial Day and cemetery irises.  In 
northern Ohio, Tall Bearded irises also peak around the end of May.  SDBs 
peak about two to three weeks earlier.  They tend to not bloom as well in 
warmer climates because of their I. pumila background.  What we know as the 
cemetery iris is ATROVIOLACEA, a natural hybrid of I. pumila, which is only 5 
to 6 inches tall and blooms here in late April.
