The Louisiana Iris: The Taming of a Native American Wildflower

"This authoritative treatment by the Society for Louisiana Irises is based on the first edition published by the society in 1988, but it is considerably expanded. It covers every aspect of the history, botany, and development of these distinctive irises, with particular emphasis on the newest hybrids, hybridizing techniques, and cultural practices, and also includes suggestions for their use in the landscape and in floral arrangements. It should serve to introduce a wider gardening public to these most colorful and versatile flowers."--BOOK JACKET.
