Greetings and Welcome! Brighton Park Irises is a private garden located in the Chicago neighborhood of Brighton Park. Living in the city, it's needless to say that our gardening space is limited. Yet, I still find it amazing how everything is able to fit within the boundaries of my yard. As you can probably infer from the title of the website, the main focus of the garden is irises. I currently grow 74 varieties or cultivars of Irises. It's small compared to other Iris collectors around the world, but considering that I live in the city, I believe it to be quite large. The irises range from cultivars that were introduced just last year to historical treasures dating back to 1840. Irises come in many different colors and I try to collect some from every color category, varieties that are extremely popular and ones that are obscure. However, being that there are so many color combinations available, it will be impossible to collect all. Please browse through my available photos of some my irises in the section entitled MY IRISES, which can be found on the previous page. It should be noted that many of cultivars are not pictured, due to loss of pictures or poor photo quality. There are also some new varieties that were purchased last year, that will hopefully bloom this year. Along with the irises I grow many perennials. There are various plants and flowers that I grow, which expand the blooming season from spring to frost. These include daylilies, roses, clematis, peonies, sedums, phlox, shrubs and many more. A few photos will posted and many more as the flowers come into season. This is mainly a photograph and personal website. This site is NOT a commerical grower. If you have any questions or comments, please EMAIL ME. I hope you will have some time to look into my main project with this site in the section entitled TRIBUTE. Happy Gardening and come back soon! Sincerely, THE BANNER ABOVE WILL TAKE YOU TO THE PREVIOUS PAGE |
