Art - Big Easel  This Vincent van Gogh Project is based on Vincent's seven Sunflower Paintings.  It is the goal of Cameron Cross, painter and teacher in Canada, to establish seven giant "Paintings on Easels" in seven countries around the world.  Nancy Price, AIS member of Region 18 has been given permission to become a part of this project by offering a planting of the iris flower, I. germanica, that was probably the iris painted by Vincent during his stay at Saint-Remy.  See also the Web Site sharing information about this project - Goodland, Kansas Chamber of Commerce - which is the site of the third Big Easel and the only site in the United States.

IRIS (GARDEN'S HANDBOOK, Vol 2) by Fritz Kohlein
This book, translated from the original German, covers Iris species, distribution, history, propagation, pests, diseases and general care.  Good for both the beginner and specialist.  370 pp, 210 color photos, 28 line drawings.  Offered through Schreiner's Gardens.
 
WORLD OF IRISES -- Published by THE AMERICAN IRIS SOCIETY in Wichita, KS
Highly Recommended!
 
Chapters on culture and propagation, on pollination and seed growing, on diseases and pests or irises, and on the pigments and genetics of irises, are comprehensive to the average iris grower, yet invaluable to the more experienced irisarian.
 
Check out the AIS Storefront for purchase of the World of Irises book and other American Iris Society books, pamphlets, and related items.
