- Annie in Austin
- Welcome! As "Annie in Austin" I blog about gardening in Austin, TX with occasional looks back at our former gardens in Illinois. My husband Philo & I also make videos - some use garden images as background for my original songs, some capture Austin events & sometimes we share videos of birds in our garden. Come talk about gardens, movies, music, genealogy and Austin at the Transplantable Rose and listen to my original songs on YouTube. For an overview read Three Gardens, Twenty Years. Unless noted, these words and photos are my copyrighted work.

Are you growing a historical iris called "Orchid Raye"? If so, do you have a photo of it blooming?
Hi Azreada,
I grew the Orchid Raye dwarf iris nearly 20 years ago when I lived in Illinois, but have no photos and also have no idea if it survived after we moved to Texas. If you're looking for it - good hunting!
Annie
