Garden Section of New York Times Discusses
One of Klamath Falls' Favorite Flowers
Klamath Falls lays claim to growing some of the loveliest
. Iris on the Pacific coast and that beautiful, regal flower seems
to respond to petted garden spots, rocky hillsides, or neglected
out-of-the-way spots. In the garden section of the New York
Times a story appears which will be of interest to iris lovers
here, and comes under the by line of Anderson McCully. A
Dart la printed here.
Small irises oner so mucn
bright beauty that a place
may well be made for them
even more than for the min
iature dahlias, zinnias and
chrysanthemums already well
established in gardens. They
have the exquisite velvety
shades and markings of tall
irises, and in addition most of
the smaller ones carry an airy
grace, even though their flow
ers are so large in proportion
to their foliage. Many of them
bloom unusually early in the
year.
Like their larger relatives,
the smaller irises are divided
broadly into bulbous and
rhizomatous groups; and they
are marked as bearded
(pogon), nonbearded (apogon)
and crested. Many are at
home toward the front of the
average border, while others
are for wet spots and pool
sides. Some lean toward drier
sands, or hug the shelter of
the rock garden. A large num
ber of them demand a hot
dry baking out after bloom is
over, just the type of treat
ment much of the American
climate offers.
The iris beard is more than
a mark of beauty it is a
signed requisition for lime. A
few of the beardless also will
tolerate lime, though it is not
to their taste. The beardless
differ, too, in their moisture
loving thin rhizomes with
many fibrous roots, so differ
ent from the thick rhizomes
and broad leaves of I. pumila.
Of all the dwarfs. Iris pum
ila makes the strongest splash
of color in the garden, though
some prefer the airier grace
of more slender types. The
Crimean Iris, running from
yellow to lilac, is rather simi
lar, and the two are some
times confused in nursery of
ferings. A great favorite in the rock
garden also fine for facing
: down small shrubs is iris
gracilipes. This is around six
inches high, with clumps of
grasslike foliage, lavender
blue petals touched with
cream and crested with gold.
It divides and plants best in
midsummer, abhors lime, asks
for humus, moisture and good
drainage. Bloom begins in
spring and holds in early
summer.
There is a little-known but
very lovely group of beard
less West Coast irises that
should be more widely used.
Included here is the blue
flowered I. douglasiana; the
four-inch Bery Cabin form of
I. innominata; and the eight
inch I. purdyi. Other good
ones of this group are the
compact six-inch white or soft
yellow I. chrysophila; the
deep yellow I. bracteata, and
the rare creeping I. tenuis,
with large white .blooms, that
grows in dense shade on
gravelly mountain river bot
toms. These are all veined or
marked in lavender or purple.
I. tenax is probably the best
known and most easily estab
lished of this 'group, v.
AH of these Oregon irises
tend strongly to color varia
tions. Because of their wiry,
wandering roots few of them
transplant from the wild, but
both nursery stock and home
grown seedlings take hold
well. The Douglas Iris is very
doubtfully hardy in New
York unless well protected, as
it is a coastal species from
southern Oregon and north-
ern California. The others
mentioned are hardier.
The bulbous irises are well
known In large-types by the
Japanese (I. laevigata), and
the English, Dutch and Span
ish. But the bulbous irises
also embrace some of the
earliest and loveliest of all
for the rock garden, particu
larly the easily grown I.
reticulata, with fragrant, vel
vety purple flowers flecked
with gold, eight or nine
inches high, sometimes seen
poking above late snow. Close
ly allied, but only two to four
inches high, is the fragrant
small I. danfordiae.
Bulbous irises like close
packed earth, and will even at
times leave a garden border
to colonize in a hard earth
path nearby. Rich fertilizers
are not much to their taste.
They do want their summer
ripening off, and are better
lifted and ripened elsewhere
if among plants that must be
watered.
There aro many others,
both native and foreign,
among miniature irises that
are more than garden worthy.
Since most of them bloom the
second or third year from
seed, they are fine adventur
ing for the hobbyist. But
rhizomes or bulbs are quicker
in effect.
Dwarfiriscs are especially
useful in combination with
