Full size art reproductions detailing 38 iris species and cultivars support descriptions and notes on the origin of each different type of iris, whilst notes about the optimum location of irises in the garden represent one of the many useful pieces of gardening advice offered. Each specimen has been painted from a growing plant and shows both the bud and the full flower.
