Pov-Iris-Discussion-Guide-Color.Pdf POV Community Engagement & Education DISCUSSION GUIDE Iris A Film by Albert Maysles www.pbs.org/pov LETTER FROM THE FILM TEAM As a documentarian, I happily place my fate and faith in real- ity. It is my caretaker, the provider of subjects, themes, ex- periences—all endowed with the power of truth and the romance of discovery. And the closer I adhere to reality the more honest and authentic my tales. After all, the knowledge of the real world is exactly what we need to better under- stand and therefore possibly to love one another. It’s my way of making the world a better place. Albert Maysles (1926-2015) Director, Iris Filmmaker Albert Maysles. Photo courtesy of Magnolia Pictures When fellow producer Jennifer Ash Rudick emailed Maysles Films to say she thought that fashion and design legend Iris Apfel could make a good subject for a film, we had a vague idea of who Iris might be, but we didn’t really un- derstand who she was until she came to our Harlem office and sat for a short meeting that ended up lasting hours. My father was so excited to work on a film about Iris. He loved her style, her storytelling and her drive. Although I had worked with him on so many endeavors, from restructuring Maysles Films to assisting on shoots, this was the first time that I collaborated with him on a film—and it was the most intense project yet. It was an amazing ex- perience. It was beautiful to watch my dad film Iris, calmly and patiently with curiosity and persistence. It was a long project. We filmed for more than four years, and there was a part of all of us, I think, that didn’t want it ever to end. Albert wanted to keep filming, and Iris kept coming up with new excuses for us to show up at her home. Toward the end of filming, producer Laura Coxson and cameraman Nelson Walker were privy to Iris discussing how she put an outfit together. For years we had been begging to get into her personal closet! Finally she agreed to show us how she put together different looks. This scene, which now begins our film, shows her attention to detail and the flair for style that she puts into Producer Rebekah Maysles. absolutely everything she creates, from the White House fabric to interior Photo courtesy of Magnolia Pictures design to the perfect cake for the 100th birthday of her husband, Carl, in 2015.

DISCUSSION GUIDE Iris |3 INTRODUCTION Iris (90 min.) pairs the late documentar- ian Albert Maysles (Grey Gardens, Gimme Shelter), 87 at the time the film was made, with Iris Apfel, the quick-witted, flamboyantly dressed then 93-year-old style maven who has been an outsized presence on the New York fashion scene for decades. More than a fashion film, the documentary is a story about creativity and how a soaring free spirit continues to inspire. Iris reminds us that conformity is over- rated. Supremely confident in her own aesthetic choices, she nevertheless re- jects the notion that others should follow her lead rather than their own hearts. Work dominates her privileged and glam- orous life, but not in a burdensome way, because, as Iris says, “If you’re lucky enough to do something you love, every- thing else follows.” The film’s portrait of this engaging woman proves that there’s nothing inherently old-fashioned about old age.

USING THIS GUIDE This guide is an invitation to dialogue. It is based on a belief in the power of human connection, designed for people who want to use Iris to engage family, friends, classmates, colleagues and communities. In contrast to initiatives that foster debates in which participants try to convince others that they are right, this document envisions conversations under- taken in a spirit of openness in which people try to understand one another and expand their thinking by sharing view- points and listening actively. The discussion prompts are intentionally crafted to help a wide range of audiences think more deeply about the issues in the film. Rather than attempting to address them all, choose one or two that best meet your needs and interests. And be sure to leave time to consider taking action. Planning next steps can help people leave the room feeling energized and optimistic, even in instances when conversations have been difficult.

  • May 15, 2016 Passing Peony and Iris Plants on from Generation to Generation Annette Meyer Heisdorffer Daviess County Extension Agent for Horticulture
    May 15, 2016 Passing Peony and Iris Plants on from Generation to Generation Annette Meyer Heisdorffer Daviess County Extension Agent for Horticulture After lunch on Mother’s Day, my mom and I surveyed her garden, especially the peonies. We both agreed that I needed to propagate her peonies and plant them in my garden. These are special, because I remember them growing in my grandmother’s garden. Peonies are commonly passed down from generation to generation. My goal is to someday share them with my twins. Our discussion included the irises, which are another heritage plant. Both plants are blooming beautifully in May and are spectacular in the garden. Information about these two plants will be provided in this article. Peony (Paeonia officinalis, Paeonia lactiflora, and hybrids) is a herbaceous perennial, which means at the end of the growing season it will die back to the ground. However, the plant returns year after year. Peonies grow best in full sun and well-drained soil. There are tree peonies (Paeonia suffruticosa) which have a woody stem, but those are not as common and require different growing conditions. The tree peony will not be discussed here. According to Dr. Rick Durham, Extension Specialist for Consumer Horticulture, peonies can be found in landscapes across Kentucky. Peonies have a long life span and are commonly grown in the garden. When planting the root, make sure it is not too deep. The eyes or bud should be just below the surface of the soil. If it is planted too deeply, the plants won't bloom.

  • The Iris- Empress of Flowers
    The Iris- Empress of Flowers by Susan Camp If the rose is the queen of flowers, then the regal iris must be the empress. She stands tall, elegantly nodding her head to lesser flowers and mere mortals. The tall bearded iris, in particular, always attracts attention and admiration from gardeners and passersby. One cannot help but pause and appreciate the delicate construction of the blossom and breathe in the sweet fragrance. The colors of the iris range from white through sherbet shades to deeper hues, all the way to purples so deep they are almost black. The colors seem especially vivid this spring. The iris is named for the Greek messenger goddess, symbolized by the rainbow. While it is fun to romanticize the iris and imagine it as a regal representation of the flower world, the iris is a plant with specific cultural needs and several pests and diseases. Iridaceae is a huge genus of 200-300 species. Most species grow from either rhizomes or bulbs. A few grow from fleshy tubers. The species are immensely diverse. The most popular irises grown in the United States are the tall bearded and other bearded varieties. The tall bearded iris, which is rhizomatous, is the focus of this column, but if you enjoy the beauty of the flower, the possibilities for your garden are almost infinite. The tall bearded iris can reach a height of 2 ½ feet. The leaves are vivid green, fleshy, and sword-shaped. The showy flowers consist of three upright inner petals called standards and three outer hanging petal-like sepals, known as falls.

Lindgren, Horticulture Specialist Iris culture emphasizes the best in site selection and preparation, planting, culture, and insect and dis- ease control. Irises are among the most popular and beautiful garden flowers for Midwest landscapes (Figure 1). More than 200 species of irises have been found in the wild and from these species, thousands of varieties have been named and made available for public use. Iris plants range in height from just a few inches to over 3 feet and are adapted to a variety of environmental conditions. The standard iris, Japanese iris, Siberian iris, Spuria and yellowflag types are suitable for Nebraska. Iris flowers can be from 1 or 2 inches across up to 8 to Figure 1. Irises 10 inches across and come in almost every color and often in two-color combinations. Irises can be selected to have continuous flowering from early April through June by using Planting an assortment of iris species and cultivars. Irises can be divided into “bearded” and “beardless” Irises grow from an enlarged underground stem called types. The term “bearded” refers to the presence of bushy a rhizome. These rhizomes grow just below the soil surface. “beards” on each of three drooping, petal-like sepals, called They are the source of growth for fans of leaves, flowers falls.

WILSON Rancho Santa Ana Botanic Garden, 1500 North College Avenue, Claremont, California 91711-3157, USA (carol. wilson@ cgu. edu) ABSTRACT Subgeneric groups have been circumscribed in Iris based on a small number of morphological characters. Recent DNA sequence data has indicated that several of the subgenera, sections, and series that have previously been delineated are paraphyletic or polyphyletic. The evolution of characters that have traditionally been used to distinguish sub generic and sectional groups within Iris was investigated by mapping these characters on a phylogenetic tree based on matK sequence data. Results indicate that rhizomes are pleisomorphic for the genus and that three bulb types have arisen independently. My analysis shows that sepal beards, sepal crests, and seed arils show extensive homoplasy. Most of the homoplasy seen is associated with the circumscription of polyphyletic subgeneric groups such as the beardless subgenus Limniris. Some additional homoplasy is due to diversity within supported clades or the historical use of a single character in circumscribing more than one subgeneric group.

  • Best Plants for Problem Clay Soils: Perennials
    Visit us on the Web: www.gardeninghelp.org Best Plants for Problem Clay Soils: Perennials Perennials Amsonia tabernaemontana — Bluestar This Missouri native features uptight clusters of light blue star-like flowers in late spring. Its narrow willow-like leaves turn yellow to peach-colored in fall. Bluestar may require staking if grown in shade and may be pruned after flowering to maintain a compact shape. It is most attractive when grown massed, in native plant gardens, shade gardens, open woodland areas, and borders. Asclepias incarnata — Swamp milkweed Despite its common name and native habitat, swamp milkweed may be grown in the average garden. Its fragrant white, pink or mauve flowers attract butterflies and mature into slender pods with silky-haired seeds. Swamp milkweed is a good choice for sunny, low or moist areas such as stream or pond banks, borders, and butterfly gardens. Baptisia australis — Blue false indigo Blue false indigo has beautiful purplish blue lupine-like flowers borne in erect spikes above the trifoliate leaves. The flowers mature into black seed pods that rattle in the breeze and are an interesting addition to dried flower arrangements. This herbaceous perennial does best in full sun as plants grown in part shade may grow taller and need support. Due to an extensive root system, blue false indigo will tolerate drought, but it should not be disturbed once it is established. Attractive in almost any situation including borders, prairies, cottage gardens, and native plant gardens, this plant is best used as a single specimen plant or in small groups.
