The Iris Pages at Shadowood reflect my keen and ever-increasing infatuation with these most beautiful flowers. Here you will find my photos and information about individual cultivars, a bearded iris planting and culture guide, frequently asked questions and answers about irises, iris colors and patterns, and irises displaying purple pigmentation on their foliage and/or rhizomes. I hope you enjoy your stroll through these pages and come away happily and forever infected with the iris virus.
