Iris have always been an important plant in our gardens. 
 When we moved to Newport, we  added many varieties of iris to our collection. 
Originally, we started with all bearded iris, but we now grow many types of iris. 
We first gardened in 1962.

Now we are members of the American Iris Society, the Historic  Iris Preservation Society, 
The Tall Bearded Iris Society, Region 13 (Washington) of the American Iris Society, 
The Society for Siberian Iris, The Median Iris Society, the Dwarf Iris Society, 
and Town and Country Iris Society in Spokane, WA.  
We also belong a number of iris-related lists and communicate with iris lovers worldwide.

Our website lists the irises we have for sale for this year and 
we will continue to add photos as time permits. 

 Gardening of any type is a labor-intensive practice.  
Iris  are easy  to grow here in zone 4 and are not affected  by iris borers. 
Many years, however, our iris have been affected  by late frosts (yellowed outer leaves) 
and  by chickens who  can’t seem to stay on their own side of the fence (the nibbled leaves).  
Fortunately,  iris  flowers  don’t  seem to be attractive to our chickens. 
Leaf spot is also troublesome in our cool Springs.  

Our thanks go to: our labor-force -  master weeders - Provo, Randy, Lisa, and Nina 
and to our grandson Tim and granddaughter Tara 
and to special people who have contributed to our knowledge of and 
collection of iris:  Laura and Harold, Jerry, Bea, Anna, and Beth.
