Welcome, T.C. on the Coast!
I'm still pretty much a newbie here at Iris-L too, but have found people
to be friendly, helpful & very much more knowlegable than me about the
vast world of irises.
Here's the address for Jim Wilson's website :
http://www.muohio.edu/~wilsonjh/
There you will find lots of good basic info about the different types of
irises & how to grow them. There are also some wonderful photos.
And here's the address for Tom Tadfor Little's Iris pages:
http://www.rt66.com/~telp/garden.htm
Tom is the overseer of Iris-L & irises are just *one* of his passions.
His site also has some beautiful photos.
There are several people participating on Iris-L who have ponds or bogs
in the gardens & can tell you lots about the "wet ones." I'm in the
foothills of Colorado with nary a pond, bog or damp spot in my garden,
which is mostly xeriscaped for dry-dry-dry. I grow tall bearded iris &
standard dwarf bearded iris, referred to on the List as TB's & SDB's.
Other shorthand includes JI (Japanese iris), LA (Louisiana iris), SI or
SIB (Siberian iris) & so forth.
Don't be shy about speaking up -- you never know what subject will spark
the interest & get the messages rolling!
Marte in the mtns Zone 4/Sunset 1 Colorado Hot & dry today,
still have several TB's bloomin' but they're
winding down. Huge Allium "Mars" is the current
ooh-ahh in the front terraces--stops traffic!
