Gimme it and I'll grow it!

Gabe, they have created some excellent dwarfs. There are several more of theirs I would love to pick up.

And so cheap. Just hope they're not as vigorous as Tom's and Neal's littles. They'll need a garden of their own soon

Gimme it and I'll grow it!

They may take an extra year but grow they will!

I have many of the Spoons Historic TB's in my garden. I am always pleased to place an order with them.

LOVE THESE AMAZING AWESOME BEARDED IRIS. HAVE BEEN GROWING THEM FOR SEVERAL YEARS NOW. I GOT BLOWN AWAY YESTERDAY WHEN I WAS TAKING A STROLL AROUND OUR GROUNDS.....WELL I LOOKED OVER TO THE BEARDED IRIS AND WHAT DO YOU THINK.....ONE WAS INBLOOM, MIND YOU OUR TEMPS HAVE BEEN IN THE 25 DEG. RANGE, THIS WAS A WOW AND I CONSIDER IT AN OMEN AND QUITE BLESSED......STILL CANNOT BELIEVE IT. THOUGHT IF I BRING INSIDE IT MIGHT NOT LIVE....FROM COLD TO HEAT.....WELL I WAS WRONG....I NOW HAVE FOUR OTHER BLOSSOMS COMING ON.
THOUGHT SOMEONE MIGHT ENJOY READDING.

Hi Marjorie --

So glad to read of people gardening in their eighties -- gives me hope for another fifteen years or so -- so thank you for that!!

What part of the country do you live in? Irises in December is a rare treat!!
