If you are not familiar with these, the pictures should be
very interesting. These are not the old tall bearded iris.
I've been intrigued by these since I first learned about them because
of living in Southern Calif., but have never taken the plunge. (Partly
due to the warnings, like Adam's above, about the difficulty of growing
them, but mostly due to the feeling that I've already taken on too many
kinds of plants and I have to draw the line somewhere...)
However, I have two questions:
1. Are they, even the species, any easier to grow in climates like
those in California?
2. Excuse my complete ignorance, but how are Arils different than--or
the same as--Junos?
