If you visit the webpage on Japanese iris (JI) culture at our CIS website
perhaps the information found there will help some of you with selecting the
correct cultural practices. It is written by the guys from Ensata Gardens,
John Coble and Bob Bauer. They do know of what they speak as they are the
premier JI specialists in North America.
