I love flowers, but tend to plant ones that have a fragrance. When I read that Sweet Lena Irises have a wonderful aroma, I purchased some bulbs. That was three years ago. Here is a picture of an iris in my backyard last summer. I let some flowers dry on the stems, cut them and used them as a dried flower arrangement for the winter.

I love that blue iris. That is just beautiful! So what kind of flowers did you let dry for that arrangement?

I got some Iris from MaryJanes farm 3 yrs ago but I gave them to my daughter's MIL. I wish I still had them. Wah, poor me. LOL MB

I LOVE the Sweet Lena Irises! Oh you should smell MaryJanesFarm during peak Iris season! I was lucky to go out there about a month after my daughter was born. A slight breeze kept wafting over the garden that grows the irises and it smelled so good! My friend Eva and I felt practically intoxicated by it! It was lovely! It felt a bit like stepping into a fairy tale! I need to order some so I can plant them all around our rental! I wish I had thought of it before- but wouldn't it be fun to leave Sweet Lenas as your "Signature" at every place you live?

When are the irises available for sale? Every time I've looked at the store website they are out of stock.
