Plants are found growing in every type of habitat from desert to swamp and ponds to forests and meadows. there is an Iris suitable for every conceivable garden use. Species range from the arctic to the tropics, from mountain tops to seashores. It is one of the largest genera and the diversity of cultivars expands its value even more. Known as the poor man's orchid, the name reflects how easy and durable most types are for the average gardener. *History of Irises*: The Iris Encyclopedia contains both references and articles to the early history of irises and information about historic irises. Searches of the Iris Encyclopedia will help you locate them. You can also go to the [[Hist.ArticlesOnHistoricIris][Library]] for articles, books, and catalogs. An introduction to the History and Historic Irises can be found [[Hist.WebHome][here]]. --- %COMMENT{ type="bottom"}% --- -- Main.BobPries - 2013-08-29
