I can’t even handle how in love with Bearded Iris I am! My obsession grows more and more each season. We had the opportunity to visit Schreiner's Iris Gardens three years ago and I’ve been hooked ever since. The crazy thing is when we bought our house the yard was bordered by dozens of brightly colored Rhododendrons and in between each bush was a big patch of different Bearded Iris varieties. I was young, naive and wanted to make the yard my own so I dug up and threw away all of the plants. Gah!
