A bouquet of re-blooming Bearded Iris
All of the beautiful bearded iris seen today are available from Sutton Iris Garden of Porterville, CA. The Sutton Family has spent over 20 years developing fine new iris hybrids, many with re-blooming habits for gardens across the country.

Exploring the Maze Garden, Morton Arboretum
The new Maze Garden at the Morton Arboretum is fun and educational. Dave had so
much fun exploring the winding halls of yew that comprise the Maze. Each route leads to one of 7
distinct garden rooms created from fine hardy plants. The Maze Garden can be viewed from above on
the overlook crafted around a magnificent 60 foot tall sycamore tree. The Maze along with the
beautiful Children's Garden are the newest horticultural attractions at the Morton.
The Morton includes a huge collection of hardy trees and shrubs spread across the vast property
in suburban Chicago; theme gardens, a stunning environmentally sensitive Visitor's Center, research
library, herbarium and educational activities.
