Um, didn't you say you just had a can of beer? And now look, you've even given that up for irises.

Can I add I'm trying to keep up with Betja to the list?

That's a good one Polly, but probably impossible!

No beer here but wine and mixed drinks and I am the easiest person on the planet to get drunk! one full drink and I am finished for the night

Remember when I told you about the new 40 foot bed I made? Well, I measured it last night, it's 64 feet long! Boy, I need to go back to school! The one next to it that I extended by 15 feet is the same length. I planted the "extention" full, and have 20 in the new bed. Just one order to come from Mid-America, but most of those will go into the re-done bed near the house.

Talk about eyes bigger than your stomach. Your spaces for irises are too big. I forget do you hybridize. Need more space for that.

Go, Tom, Go

Of course Lucy, I'm a hybridizer! Haven't you heard of my very famous iris "Birtha D Blues", and "Himalayen Flat" I'm just a wannabe, trying to learn how to get seed pods, and then to get the darn seeds to grow. And no Miller Liite with my steak and salad tonight either! Just good old green tea.

Too funny..............................lol

Lucy there is no such thing as too big, only too small LOL

D

with D the more the better Ill be looking forward to the pictures in that 60ft bed in the spring.

Well, most of that bed is going to be covered with tarp and kept for next year. Unless I win the lottery, and can afford to hurry up and buy out Mid-America or some other company, lol. Then I could hire lots of gardeners and all I'd have to do is walk around and smell the flowers. Yah, fat chance, lol

Great dream, though! Wonder how many people dream about winning the lottery so they can buy more Irises!!

There is a 300 mil winner in Mich.

Dang, and I didn't even have a ticket! Just think of all the irises they could have? lol. We're getting a nice rain, I have the rest of my chores to do in the rain. Oh well, Wet is good.

Thanks for the early morning laugh! I have nothing compared too you guys but the Iris is my favorite flower.

Hope to keep track of this forum to enjoy more and pictures. I love pictures!

Hi Vicky, welcome. Yes, please stay and talk to us. Some of us only have a very few irises, others have tons, but we all enjoy them, that's for sure.

Thank you! HAve been busy getting the few tomatoes I have ready for the canner. Will can them tomorrow. Darn job gets in the way of most of my fun.

HAve 3 nice size beds to plant up this fall. HAve some iris to move. A couple I think to be delivered yet. Other plants to divide and move. Would be a good week this week as we are to be in the 70's all week. But that darn job is in the way again!

I'm not near as funny as you guys but I sure will enjoy laughing along with you all!

I don't keep track of names but am trying to change that.

Darn jobs, LOL!

Hey Vicki, Welcome to the world of iris - oholics. Good to see some other people from the land of ice and snow. I'm in Janesville, way on the Southern end of this state. This group will have you swimming in iris in no time!

I'm in Iowa; looking forward to viewing your 60' iris beds in full bloom!
