Description
My second painting of Irises that I saw at the Horton Iris Garden in Loomis, California. Over a thousand varieties there to choose from at that location.
The bearded irises are easy to cultivate and propagate and have become very popular in gardens. A small selection is usually held by nurseries at appropriate times during the season, but there are thousands of cultivars available from specialist suppliers (more than 30 000 cultivars only for the tall bearded irises !). They are best planted as bare root plants in late summer, in a sunny open position with the rhizome visible on the surface of the soil and facing the sun. They should be divided in summer every two or three years, when the clumps become congested.
This 15" X 22" watercolor painting was done on Kiliminjaro, cold press, 140 lb watercolor paper.
