Hello everyone:
Tom asked us to post a brief introduction so that's what I'm doing! I'm a
beginning iris grower in Zone 6. Irises have always been one of my
favorite flowers - but it's only recently that I've gotten interested in
growing them. So, I'm on this list to learn as much as possible about
irises and growing irises - all types - and to, hopefully, contribute
from my own new experiences.
I planted a new bed of bearded irises this past summer and had excellent
growth from the flags before winter. I hope that our terribly harsh
winter hasn't hurt them! The bearded irises I planted this year are all
pastels - a pastel iris bed - which I'm looking forward to! I hope to do
another iris bed with blues and purples. I also have a small bed with
some Dutch irises. I want to try other types of irises, particularly the
Japanese varieties. Is it true those can be grown in some shade? I'm
interested in planting some Japanese irises on the northwest exposure of
my house.
Looking forward to participating in the list!
