Now I have redone the bed, and with a few exceptions, everything in it is new or moved from other areas. The rows that were not in use were very easy to work, not like if they weren't worked at all...then they would just be hard clay and too much work. I am glad that I did this last year!

The corner has one iris. Last year, it was Thornbird! Thornbird grew too big and on top of itself and needed to be separated. So now we have something different there.

Oregon Sunshine

(There are no pictures in the database)
Horned Sunshine

Berkeley Gold


As you can see, I have started out my iris collections with historics from a nearby iris garden that is world famous. Mary Hess has over 4000 varieties of historic irises, and is the largest historic iris nursery worldwide, I found out later.

Next row 5 irises:

Quail Ale

Better Than Butter

Saharan Sun

Spiral Galaxy

Tiger Honey
