Howdy, all!
Inspired by Anner's eloquent account of the antique irises at home in
Richmond, can anyone give us a similar overview of cultivars that might be
found loitering in colonial Williamsburg or parts nearby? I've never been
there; but I have this wonderful sister-in-law there who *ought* to be
growing iris, especially bog iris. She's a seamstress with two little boys
and a full dance card who wants to garden but doesn't have time; irises are
exactly what she needs.
Perhaps a scenic tour of Williamsburg mentioning notable stands of
venerable plants would get her noticing them. And you know how this works:
First we notice, then we desire, then we learn to appreciate. Does anyone
appreciate that city the way Anner appreciates Richmond?
