    Special thanks

    Catalogs from Cooley's Gardens and Schreiner's Iris Gardens are the source many of the vintage iris images on our Web site. Their beautiful old catalogs are a treasure trove for the historic iris enthusiast. Both continue to this day to put out must-have catalogs eagerly sought by collectors, as well as quality garden irises. You can learn more about these growers by clicking on their names above.
