From the rolling hills of the Ozarks to the fertile wetlands of the Delta, Arkansas has long been a sanctuary for iris enthusiasts and pioneers. This page is dedicated to the visionary hybridizers—like Frank Chowning and Richard Butler—who captured the spirit of the "Natural State" in every bloom. Here, we document the varieties that carry our state’s name and celebrate the creators who dedicated their lives to cultivating beauty that reflects the unique character of Arkansas.
