Not to be a list hog, but I jumped in with a question before I saw a
request for introductions.....
In addition to my struggling Siberians and my thriving I. pseudocorus I
have several varieties (a piddling 10 probably) of bearded iris--these
are not my favorites. I grow the I. cristata, have a few Japanese Iris
varieties (including the only rarity I have in my collection--one with
variegated foliage that is not really commerically available yet--they were
selling a few at the Middleburg, VA Garden Symposium last March), a
Louisiana hybrid "Black Gamecock" and, against my better judgment I
planted some dutch iris this year (love the flowers, hate the foliage).
I love all gardening, but I'd say my greatest interest is in perennials
and native plants of all types. I do want to expand my
plantings of water-loving iris of all types.

P.S. Most mothers would kill for a teenager whose passion was
iris--rather than sex, drugs, obnoxious music, etc.!!
