Re: REF: Irises, a Gardener's Encyclopaedia

>>> The 2 that come to mind are Grosvenors "Iris - Flower of the rainbow" from 
Australia. A great book, but out of print, and out of date with all the 
older TB cultivars given that it leans heavily towards TB's. Sells for well 
over $100 if you can find it. <<<
 
Really? I have that book and it is truly is out of date but has good info 
about cultivation,etc. I don't think that it leans more heavily towards TBs 
than other general iris books on the market. At least this one does mention 
other classes and even has some photos. 
 
I continue to recommend Bill Shear's iris book to new irisarians feeling
it is more practical and a better 'read'.
