January 1, 2010 message update: 

Time to celebrate! It is the beginning of the New Year. We wish each of you a very happy and prosperous New Year.

People in many areas are beginning to feel the dreaded effects of cabin fever. Maybe we can help a bit. We have posted all the pictures and information for Mid-America's new 2010 introductions to the web site. Please make note that this is the only part of the web site that has been updated with 2010 information. To get to 2010 Introductions, click on 'Irises' and then on either 'Paul Black Introductions' or Thomas Johnson Introductions'

Please DO NOT place orders for varieties in the general listing. The entire web site will be updated around the end of January.

Enjoy!

Think spring and more iris bloom.

Welcome to Mid-America Garden. Thank you for dropping by our web site to view some of the latest and best Bearded Irises as well as the tried and true. We also have one of the largest selections of varieties from overseas hybridizers such as Barry Blyth and Graeme Grosvenor from Australia,and Richard Cayeux from France.

We are also proud to present the 2010 introductions of Paul Black and Thomas Johnson. Our emphasis is on distinctive flowers produced by vigorous, hardy plants and borne on strong, well branched and budded stalks. You will also notice we have a definite obsession with Standard Dwarf Bearded hybridizing.

Mid-America Garden is much more than an iris garden.

The grounds are a botanical wonderland with something in bloom most of the year. There are many trees and shrubs including evergreens of all sorts, fruit trees, Japanese maples, and magnolias; to mention a few. There are large collections of daffodils, peonies, [these will be in bloom during iris bloom season] lilies, hemerocallis [daylilies], gladiolus, and one of the largest collections of hostas in this part of the country. These are available for sale from Sebright Gardens located on this same property. You can easily spend a half day enjoying this abundance of beauty. Please come by and do just that.

We hope you will allow us the privilege of providing you with some of the finest quality irises in the industry. Our customers tell us repeatedly that our plants are of top size and quality and that a very high percentage bloom the first year after planting. We will always give you our very best effort to make your experience with us a very positive one.

 - Paul Black and Thomas Johnson
