The Carol Ann Moyer Iris Garden is located within the HENRY SCHMIEDER ARBORETUM of DELAWARE VALLEY COLLEGE, Doylestown, Pennsylvania. The Delaware Valley Iris Society contributes cultivars, maintenance, and financial support to this educational living laboratory. In 2007, this garden is listed as a display garden of the Median Iris Society section of the American Iris Society. Visitors are welcome to the arboretum every day of the year.

Visiting Gary's garden was a dream beyond my wildest iris imagination. May 24th was a peak bloom day that I am delighted to share from my camera's view. Being there is way better! You need to smell the penetrating fragrance everywhere, too.

Sharing the blooms seen in 2006 during visits to Vince's, Charles's and Ron's gardens.

Come with me to Joan's May 22nd garden day at her home garden. Not only is Joan a devoted Show Judge but also is a fantastic iris grower. I was in awe the entire time I was walking thru the bloom aisles.

Tyler Arboretum hosted the annual show. More than a hundred visitors enjoyed the blooms on display. One comment that a visitor made that was overheard emphasized the grand show..."I'm glad I didn't have to judge that, it would have been very difficult".

The Garden State Iris Show on May 27th was a joy for the serious hybridizer Brett Butler with all the ribbons he acquired. Experiencing his garden afterwards was even better. Outstanding plants grow in the front, side and back gardens. Next year, I need to come earlier to view the first bloomers. Brett, thanks for the treat.

Visiting Scott's new iris garden is a most delightful experiece. It looks as though he's grown iris for years in the way that they are so artistic placed around his garden. Enjoy!

This international prize winning iris hybridizer was given recognition in Bordentown, New Jersey, with a garden of many of his iris creations available for the public to view. My visit was 5.27.07 a little past the peak bloom this year.

Stan Gray allows visitors to view his private display garden during bloom season. It is an awesome quality garden to see the progression of hybridizing through Dykes Medal winners and current award winners. Details about this garden are on the website graysirisgarden@comcast.net. If you can't visit, I do hope you enjoy my camera's view.

Matt and Jen Cunningham are continuing the family business of growing outstanding iris. My early spring visit was spectacular with beautiful blooms of SDB's, IB's and Arilbreds. The open garden day, June 2nd, had a wonderful display of tall beardeds. Enjoy.

Visiting the neighboring New Jersey society show was quite an outstanding learning experience. Many newer hybrids were displayed along with seedlings. Do enjoy this photo display show.

Diamond State and Garden State Joint Show at Goodstay, the Wilmington campus of the University of Delaware. A tour through the gorgeous and well maintained gardens was a bonus feature of the show.

Preparing rhizomes at Gary's the weekend before the sale was enjoyable for members. Gardeners swarmed the sale tables and received lots of information from all the available members. It was an exciting day for all. Later, members enjoyed lunch together and the special auction hosted by the one and only Vince.

Iris are everywhere around Dapne's home in picturesque beds. It's obvious to the neighbors that this gal loves iris and is an outstanding gardener with artistic creativity. Enjoy.

Presby Memorial Iris Gardens in Montclair, NJ are a must see for any iris lover in the area. It's described as "A living museum dedicated to cultivating and displaying a rich variety of irises...". My goal for this 6.3.07 visit was to photograph historic blooming iris even though it was a misty day. Hope you enjoy, too.

May 20, 2007 was a beautiful garden day for all the DVIS members attending the dedication. Vince and Gary presented outstanding judges training. It was a most festive occasion with many visitors enjoying and learning as well.

6.30.07 was a perfect viewing day for the opening of so many Japanese Iris. I learned the qualities of good Japanese garden iris by seeing many Payne Medal winners. New and old cultivars are well established in this garden. Keeping the deer away is challenging for Larry as well as keeping the stream from carrying away roots. What a treat to be hosted by this accomplished grower!
