Bearded will be done here at that time, yes. Japaneese and possibly late
Siberians will be going at that time. IMHO UBC is better for Botanicle
collections, although VanDeusen is very good as well. I would think if you
have a chance to go to Langley a friend at Ponds Beautiful has a large
collection of Japaneese Iris that is really worth seeing!
Contact me personally if you would like to meet when you are here.
My e-mail is gwartney@direct.ca I don't know what my days off will be at
that time, but it is possible I may be able to take you there myself.

Where it is raining and cool, the season is about 2 - 3 weeks late. Iris are
budded, only 1 miniature blooming, don't know its name, and i cristata is
just starting.
