oh Dear, Low Ho Silver is an intermediate not a dwarf, although I am sure that they mainly sell the tall bearded.

@irisarian I'm guessing you saw the site. I mentioned it today to him. I doubt he'll change it on the site, but said no one's called that out before. Thumbs up

They have Siberian, Japanese and Bearded irises. Although it is not listed at the moment, I do believe it is the only commercial sales for the elusive Japanese iris Shiro Nihonkai in the US. After searching and waiting for five years I was so pleased to find a source in the United States. I did share it with as many as I could so we could get it well established in the US.

Gabriel mentioned an iris farm called www.irishillsfarm.com I didn't see it on the list. I googled it it appears to have a lot of rebloomers.

Is Bluebird Haven the only one selling older irises? http://www.bluebirdhavenirisga... My Mom use to grow (TB) 'One Desire' 1960, and I'd like to find and grow it. She passed away 2/14/16 and I want to grow some flowers she did in memory of her.

I see it is on the Bluebird Haven site, but are there other sources that sell it?

I'm thinking Bluebird would be my best bet!

Thanks!

That's wonderful, Marilyn. Just the opposite for me -- lost my Dad in 1996. My Mom is still hanging in there at 94!!

Thanks Marilyn. It sure was an unhappy time in my life. But -- everyone goes through it -- it's the natural order of things. Much worse for people who lose a child.......

The HIPS master list shows that One Desire is sold by Bluebird Haven, C&T iris Patch, and Williamson....so even if you don't see it on their site...inquire, as they may still have it.

@djinnevada

No. I thought you had to be a member to ask them about what sources sold certain historic irises.

@crowrita1

I saw it available at Bluebird Haven.

I had already checked with C&T iris. They're sold out.

I just checked with Williamson and it is not listed.

Most likely, I'll get it from Bluebird Haven, but I guess I'd better not wait too late to order it.

Thanks!
