Greetings.
Things are mighty quiet on the list and I thought perhapas this might be a
good time to ask those among us whose preferences run chiefly to the
beardless irises to give us some news and observations about what the garden
standouts, or disappointments were in their gardens this year and what the
stars of the 2000 catalogs seem to be.
We have connoisseurs of all sorts of irises on this list, Siberians,
Japanese, Spurias, Arilbreds, but we don't hear as much as we might about
these. I know I'm interested in hearing a lot more, and I'm sure others are
as well.
This quiet time, when many of the folks whose garden conditions or personal
preferences favor the bearded irises are digging and planting, is an
excellent time for those who are oriented toward beardless irises to promote
their favorites and encourage a broader understanding and appreciation of the
genus among our beginners. We look to the experts for their expertise, and
hope they will share it.
So I ask, what were the standouts in your gardens this year? What cultivars
would you especially recommend? Which did not live up to your expectations?
In short, among the non-bearded rhizomatous irises, what was hot in 2000, and
what was not?
