The bookazine for people who love dirt!

Of course I believe every garden should have an iris.  Why not?  Though I'm keenly into anything rare and unusual, I like something fond and recognizable, as if rekindling an heirloom passion by so many gardeners before me.  While I run a nursery that specializes in bearded irises, I grow as many different kinds as I can find space for.  With almost 350 species in the genusIris, gardeners in most climates, zones and locations can find an iris to grow, and hopefully more than just one.
