Hi! I'm Beth Matney, yet another Iridiot from Arkansas, central Arkansas in
my case. I've had iris as long as I can remember, almost exclusively Tall
Bearded until recently. Most of mine are pass-me-around from family and
friends, so I do not know what most of the varieties are. Some are very old
(prior to 1929) from old home places. I have two different natives found on
our farm, that have been identified as Iris verna and Iris cristata (both
blue), an unusual (to me) that is supposed to be a wild iris from Israel,
Iris pseudacorus, Siberian, Japanese, Louisiana, and the usual assortment of
Dutch and English bulbed iris. I am especially interested in other natives
(at this time). We have 66 acres of ex-timberland that we're reclaiming. I
grow quite a few daffodils and daylilies also.
