[Arid_gardener] Question from Home-Hort WWW page

[Dick Gross]

Gloria, bearded Iris is relatively cheap at your local nursery and from many 
on-line nursery sources. Buy a few rizomes from several and see how they do. 
There is a wholesale grower in Glendale although it has been a while since 
I've been by his fields.

The best on-line site I've seen is at 
http://www.walking-p-bar.com/shopsite/page11.html

There are a multitude of varieties avaliable there. Shop around on the many 
Web sites by typing Bearded Iris into your search nengine and stand back.
