RE: Alan's Arizona garden.

Yep, I have Iris too.  Mine seem a bit sluggish when it comes to blooming though.  They look very healthy this year, so I'm hoping they will bloom.  I did have one set of blooms already, a beautiful lavender.  Now another one is throwing up a spike or stalk or whatever you call it.

You should be able to grow irises indigenous to the west coast and other arid 
lands in your garden.  Do you do irises?

I have always wanted a great, tall clump of spurias somewhere in the garden.  
Spuria irises can be five or more feet tall and imposing in large clumps.  No 
spurias in NYS, alas.

On this same server is an iris list where they know nearly everything about 
western grown irises.  You do not have the insect that destroys irises on the 
east coast.  There are lots of arid land irises just made for Arizona.  It 
seems that rose growers nearly always like irises as well.
