Welcome to the iris forum, Ami! You should have good luck with dwarf bearded irises as the like cold winters.

Thro' all the tumult and the strife I hear the music ringing; It finds an echo in my soul— How can I keep from singing?

Welcome Ami, I sure hope they are wrong about that cold winter, but seems like the only time the weather guessers are right is when it the bad stuff.

Politicians are like diapers, they need to be changed often, and for the same reason.

to the Iris Forum, Ami!

Don't know how cold your winters are, but my irises (of all sizes) do just fine!

Of course I talk to myself; sometimes I need expert advice!
