Making Spring Flowers

When we moved into this house 20+ years ago, we inherited several varieties - including one gorgeous brown that was the first non-traditional iris I'd ever seen. But over the years they've all died out except one hardy specimen that comes back year after year.
I don't remember how I found them, but about a month ago I spotted info on Pleasants Valley Iris Farm in Vacaville, California. One look at their online catalog and I was hooked. Or should that be 'sunk'?
