The Bob and Ann Story

Ann's background includes various horticultural careers - a garden designer, teacher and consultant. Having come full circle, she returned back to the countryside where it all began...in her own garden.

Bob started out pleasing Ann by trying to keep up with her demands - another garden, adding more compost, moving more plants, improving soil. Now totally brain-washed he caught the bug several years back and now steers the ship. The photography is his work and patience has paid off. Our children, grandchildren and now Bob himself continue to improve and add to this website filled with even more stunning pictures. THe started hybridizing a few years back and has since registered and introduced several stunning irises.

This year's new offerings are: Nurse's Cap, Pixie Rider, Lady Lashes and Ballerina Belle.

Last year, in 2021, First Responder, Isabel Hunter, Misty Moonbeams, Pink Chiffon, Popsicle Ice, and Rocky Mountain Low were introduced.

In 2020 it was Mango Smoothie as well as Tutu Tootsie.

In 2019 Golden Fury, Big Honkin Blue, Mister Boy, Raspberry Brulee, Rocky Mountain Skies and lastly Wind In Your Sails came along.

In 2018 he introduced Razzleberry n Cream and his first Standard Dwarf Iris, Seaside Lemonade.

  "Your new SDB, 'Seaside Lemonade', is the cutest thing ever!! Maybe next year? I still really like your gorgeous 'Believe In Tomorrow'. Congratulations. I would also add that I have always received nice, healthy, clean fans from you."

2017 brought us Believe In Tomorrow, Butter Almond Crunch plus Lovers Holiday.

Before this came Mardi Gras Dancer and Our Katy Girl.

Reblooming Iris
Did you know that some irises re-bloom again in late summer and early fall? They refresh our gardens when everything else is tired and ready to close up for the season. Our customers are both surprised and delighted to see their favourite flowers blooming when they pick up their Iris orders.
