Was: Sowing seed i.. now Junos

Juno iris have been fabulous, easy to grow in raised sand beds. The
number of flowers they put forth is remarkable, such fun "corn
plants" that require little or no attention.
About 6-7 Juno iris varieties blooming today, 05-01-2008.

The very floriferous Iris vicaria
Iris x 'Warlsind' has very fragrant flowers, and is a slower grower
than the other species.

Dear Mark,
Glad to see another praise of Junos and their 'show' ability.
They can make quite an impact in masses like these. Your ultra
vigorous I . vicaria matches my I. willmottiana. We ought to trade a
few of these 'weeds'.
And if you like 'Warlsind', you must get 'Sindpers', the
reverse cross. I got mine from Jane McGary and it is a knock out.
Best Jim W. where the aril-bred irises
are just starting their dazzle.
