How do your irises grow?

First of all, thanks to the attentive members of the Founders Garden Club of Des Moines. It was truly a pleasure to speak to your group on January 16.

As a follow-up to that lecture, I offer the following links as great sources of information for irises:

Bearded Irises:
Rainbow Iris Farm
American Iris Society (Have you joined yet?)
GardenWeb list on Irises
Irises @ Hort.net

Japanese (Ensata) Irises:
The Society for Japanese Irises
ISU Horticulture & Home Pest News

Website updated!

Greetings!

My personal website, www.frontiernet.net/~kellydn has been updated to include my current 2007 lecturing engagements as well as new information about the programs I am available to lecture on. As spring approaches do consider having me as a guest speaker to your club or at your function. Here's what some audience members from recent presentations have been saying:

"Kelly's enthusiasm is contagious."
"His energy, talent, and knowledge is an asset to the gardening world."
"I wish it was spring! Kelly has inspired me to get out and dig!"

A shameless plug,
