World of Irises - The Blog of The American Society https://theamericanirissociety.blogspot.com

The American Iris Society blog, World of Irises, is a wonderful source of information about irises. In past years we’ve reprinted several of the articles in SIGNA. However, it’s such a rich resource, we’ve only been able to reprint a sampling of articles. For your convenience in exploring the World of Irises, below are links to all (I hope) of the most recent of species iris articles from the blog.

Thank you to World of Iris editor Andi Rivarola for his work on the blog and for allowing us to use articles from it. Thank you also to all the authors for sharing their knowledge and lovely photos with us.
