Good morning iris lovers - My favorite iris book is The Iris Book by Molly 
Price probably because I stumbled across it when I was struggling to grow the 
beautiful new cultivers of TB iris in this Texas hell hole and was unaware of 
AIS or iris clubs or anyone who knew anything about growing anything other than 
William Setchel with the exception of my mentor who could put a tinker toy 
stick in the ground and it would multiply.  This book is earmarked, underlined, 
and broken backed.  I have all the other books mentioned except for the new one 
and have enjoyed them all but The Iris Book remains my favorite.
I have only one iris throwing up bloom stalks - Juan Valdez.  I could find 
nothing about its parentage in the 1990 check list except that it is a creation 
of Bill Maryott.  I have a whole bed devoted to supposed rebloomers where they 
can get extra summer water and fertilizer.  The most I can say for that bed 
is that at least nothing is rotting.
