On this topic, those in the U.S. who live near a Costco might be
interested to hear that last night when we were there I found copies
of a Timber Press book published last year entitled _Irises: A
Gardener's Encyclopedia_ by Claire Austin for only $29.95 (instead of
the list prices of $49.95 or £35.00). It even has a forward by some
guy named James W. Waddick of Kansas City, Missouri. The flap says it
contains 1100 color photographs, and the book is divided into
sections of Bearded, Beardless, and Bulbous Irises and further
divided into chapters kind of like the categories Mary Sue has listed:
Bearded Irises (of various heights, etc.)
Aril
Arilbred
Siberian
Laevigata
Japanese
Louisiana
Pacific Coast
Spuria
Other Beardless Species (including Crested)
Interspecies Hybrids
Reticulata
Dutch, Spanish, and English
Junos
I haven't had a chance to look through it all yet, but so far it
looks good.
