I make up a picture album from photographs taken in my garden featuring
every iris I am donating to the Society for sale. That way as we try to
peddle the iris we can flip through this labeled, alphabatized album and
show pictures. If one sells out we can always look at the picture and
pick something close. It seems to have helped our sale and several of
the members are now doing the same thing.
