Embodying the luminescence of the rainbow, irises add prismatic brilliance to any landscape and bring joy to the heart. We welcome you to our celebration of the wondrous Rainbow Flower and invite you to take a break from everyday hum-drum life... Our Photo Galleries will provide you with visions of earthbound rainbows. IrisBytes Graphics will provide the opportunity to add some color to your website or computer desktop. You can even listen to Iris Carols and pass some time having Fun With Iris. On the practical side, our reference materials will lead you in your efforts of growing irises.
For years we've been encouraged to specialize in one type of iris but have resisted since we love them all so much. In 2009 we finally decided that is really was time to focus on one iris... and Pacific Coast irises take the lead! As we will expand on our selection of PCIs over the next few years, we will continue to offer a diverse selection of iris including. Tall Bearded, Miniature Dwarf, Standard Dwarf, Intermediate, Border and Miniature Tall Bearded Iris, as well as Japanese, Louisiana, Siberian, Spuria and Species irises will also be available on occasion.
A close-up picture showing the details of an individual iris flower can show all of the intricate details, melding of colors and the subtlety of patterns, shading and tones quite well. However, a close-up does not indicate anything about the growth patterns of the plant or the significant impact that clumps of irises can have in the garden. Our Image Galleries offer close-up photos of individual flowers as well as some photos of clumps or group plantings. If you are a local gardener, you may want to consider visiting our garden to view the iris in mature clumps.
Located in Skyway, a community to be found between Renton and Seattle in Washington, the Leonine Iris gardens are open by appointment for viewing on weekends from March until mid-June; please contact us for an appointment. In the meantime, please enjoy our photo image galleries and reference materials.
