Its been years since I had bearded Iris. Except for the old clumps that came with the house (indestructable) I managed to rot all my bearded iris.

Now, anything I had never grew tall stalks with the heights listed for some of the new TB. I am really confused. Are the flowers bigger on the tall bearded compaired to the intermediate? Or is it just that the stalks are taller? I must have had intermediates. I got them locally from various packaged displays at local stores. They did grow but always died out in a year or so.

I now know better on how to plant are care for the beared iris and will not make the same mistakes of heavily mulching over them again.

I look at the flower pictures of the TB posted here and I just want to drool. At least I expect they are TB. I don't even know were to start on what to choose.

I had another thread on buying reblooming iris and started a list of rebloomers but have not gotten too far.

I got the mini catalog from Schreirers and they all look good to me.
