Thanks for the tips, everyone. Those will get me started....I'm just looking for pink to purple "short bearded iris" that hopefully bloom on the early side. And Irisloverdee, thanks for your suggestions~~I do have Bamboozle and several others (unlabeled) in the garden already and they do well for me (knock on wood).

2nd question, then: Can someone show me how to search in "Plantfiles" for all the "Short bearded Iris" or the "Border Iris" classifications as a group so that I can go through them and check them out for the garden and see where I can buy them? (I can't seem to make the PlantFiles search work for me unless I'm looking up specific cultivars). Thanks so much.

3rd questioin (I'm on a roll here!): Can anyone suggest a good Iris grower that stocks a lot of these short and border iris?? I know there's Schreiners but I kinda forget the names of the small but good family growers, etc.

Thanks loads. t.
