Iris Iris Named after the Greek goddess of the rainbow, irises can be found growing wild throughout the Northern Hemisphere and have long been cultivated for their colourful flowers. In Turkey they are used to decorate graveyards while being an important ingredient in the perfume industry in Italy. They mass in high Himalayan bogs, cling to arid Greek hillsides or even line the banks of British canals. Although irises are traditionally grown alone, they may also be used in mixed planting and borders. Because they flower for more than six months, from November to June, there is an iris suitable for virtually every part of the garden, whatever the conditions. Pacific coast iris Crossing various Californian species has produced the evergreen Pacific Coast irises. These have one of the widest colour ranges of all varieties, usually subdued and with a contrasting, veined mark on the falls. All types require a neutral to acid soil. Unlike most irises, they flower just as well in partial shade as in full sun. Like most non-bearded forms, the clump gradually expands outwards from the centre and should be divided at regular intervals, such as in late August, discarding the central portion. Iris 'Agnes James' Early flowering, this is a rather upright yellow and white form of Pacific Coast iris.

Iris
Neomarica gracilis, (Brazilian Walking Iris)
Neomarica gracilis, (Brazilian Walking Iris). Native of regions from Southern Mexico to Brazil. Also known as the twelve apostles, has intricately designed orchard-like white flowers of white with mottled crimson and a blue-violet banding. Glossy green, arching leaves, like an iris which are sometimes more than 24 inches long. Flowers from spring to late summer, prefers partial to full shade. Flowers last only for one day, but multiple blooms will come from the same stem in rapid succession. Grows in grassy clumps up to 5 feet wide and equally high, does well in pots and particularly suitable to hanging baskets. Flowers appear in one year, two in cooler climates. May survive in the ground in zone 8, best in zone 9 or warmer climates. Require a well drained soil with reasonable moisture. Propagation is very easy. Finished blooms will develop air roots from which a small plant will grow. Plant the youngster in a 4-inch pot of soil still attached to the mother plant, or snip and repot. Keep well watered and repot when potbound. IRIS - WEED CONTROL There are no chemicals currently listed for control of grassy weeds in bearded iris. Chemicals used to control grassy weeds will also damage the iris.

is BellaOnline's Gardening Host Louisiana Iris The "Louisiana Iris" is the common name for several species belonging to the beardless irises. Timber Press released the second edition of The Louisiana Iris written by members of the Society for Louisiana Irises in 2000. Let's take a look at this group of iris species and the book.
History of Louisiana Irises is discussed in chapter one. Here I learned that there are only 5 species included in the name "Louisiana Iris." Here I learned that the southern hemisphere has no native iris species. John James Audubon, a famous American naturalist, was the first person to use the term "Louisiana" iris. The five species within this group are Iris hexagona, I. fulva, I. brevicaulis, I. giganticaerulea, and I. nelsonii. John K. Small of the New York Botanical Garden is responsible for popularizing these irises. You'll have to read the rest of the chapter to learn more about the history of this group of irises.
A detailed discussion of the classification of the Louisiana irises within the genus iris is presented in Chapter 2. This also includes a detailed description of the 5 species called "Louisiana Iris." This chapter should satisfy those who must know the exact scientific classification of every plant they have. Some of the rest of us may choose to skip over this chapter.

Printer Friendly Version Bible Plants: Hollyhocks,Holy thistle, Hyacinth, Iris
By Katelyn Thomas Hollyhocks Alcea setosa
Job 30:4 talks about the people collecting mallows. Today, we know these plants as Malva and Alcea plant genera. The leaves from these plants were used in soups and salads. The wild hollyhock (originally called Holy Hocks by the Crusaders) is seldom available as seed today. Most gardeners will settle for our cultivated hollyhock, Alcea rosea to represent this plant family. Special note: This plant is ravaged by leaf miners every year. It is best to surround this plant with others that will conceal its foliage. Find one of the "single-flowered" cultivars rather than the newer "powder puff" cultivars since it will be closer to the original wild variety. [Usually acts as a biennial.]
Cultivation : Plant in any good garden soil. It is winter hardy to -30°F
Holy Thistle Silybum marianum
Cultivation
: This plant will grow anywhere thistles are likely to grow. It is best to treat it as an annual and remove it completely each year.
Hyacinths Hyacinthus orientalis
The Song of Solomon 6:2 mentions the gathering of lilies. Botanists believe the lilies referred to were really wild hyacinths. These are sweetly scented and bloom in blues, purples, and bluish whites. They are native to Palestine. The Dutch took them home and have developed many brilliant colors for us today. For the sake of authenticity, grow only those that bloom in the blues and purples of the wild variety. [A word of caution when planting: use gloves because many people experience allergic reactions to handling the bulbs.]

Bearded Iris
There are three forms of bearded iris: tall, intermediate and dwarf. Tall bearded iris are well-known to most gardeners in southern Australia. They tolerate alkaline as well as acidic soils soils and flower in late October through to late November, if planted in a sunny aspect.
The smaller, more compact, dwarf bearded iris flower from August to mid-September. They have the complex 'placata' type markings and flower best in areas with cold frosty winters.
To obtain the intermediate form, a tall bearded variety is crossed with a dwarf variety, Since these crosses are usually sterile, a supply of parent stock will be needed from which to breed. Take pollen (male) from the dwarf flowers and store in the freezer or chiller. This is necessary because the two types don't flower at the same time. In November introduce the pollen to the female stigma of the tall bearded iris. The progeny exhibits the form of the female plant and the colour of the male plant. To get progeny the other way round, delay the flowering of the dwarf form by keeping a container grown plant in the chiller, so it flowers in October or November. This plant can then be pollinated by pollen from the tall bearded iris. The progeny will have the full colour range of the tall bearded iris from white, cream, yellow, mauve and purple.
The more compact intermediates are popular where space is a consideration. They provide many flowers on shorter stems that can better withstand wind than the taller type. Intermediates flower from early October to mid Novemeber, with the full colour range of the tall varieties. Iris 'Whoop'em Up', featured, has the characteristic of setting many blooms at the same time).

Japanese Irises have been developed over many years from forms of Iris ensata . This is a hardy waterside plant, native to wide areas of eastern Asia. It has been the subject of many years of selective breeding. The distinctive flowers, offset by the sword-shaped foliage can provide a distinctive component to waterside plantings. Imagine a walk beside a slow-flowing stream, a pond or a small lake. It is high summer.
