LOUISIANA IRIS 
Despite the fact that these bewitching iris come from the South- 
ern United States they have proved surprisingly hardy through- 
out the country including the Northern States and Southern 
Canada. Since the discovery of great numbers of new plants in 
Louisiana the popularity of this group has gained much impetus. 
The amazing color range includes vivid reds and blues, bright 
yellows, coppers and pinks as well as white and richest purples. 
Unlike most of the bearded varieties their value does not end in 
the garden as the graceful flowers artistically placed on arching 
stems afford ideal material for flower arrangements.
