No! I've been checking their website everyday too and it is still showing the old season.

Please add "Smokin Heights" to the list. It is an Australian company that only sells iris to the non-quarantine states of Australia at the moment. Their website is down during the off season but their facebook site is active year round. I like the way they introduce us to a new iris everyday on their facebook site including their own crosses which may be introduced in the future.

Has anyone ordered from them this past year? The original post here was for member recommended sites but I have have been adding any that are posted. The owner of that new one is an iris judge, I'll add them. Thumbs up Would be nice to support a new vendor.
Thanks @Dachsylady86

This would be Howard Dash. I met him at the 2016 AIS convention at the Glenora gardens tour. Had a short discussion about one of his two seedlings (it was a Sea Power cross) there which I liked. The only picture we have of any of his five intros is a very crappy picture I took at the convention garden.

I will try to contact and get nice pictures to upload!

It appears that Zebra Gardens no longer has an active webpage; the current link listed is invalid. I did an internet search for to see if the web address had changed and had no luck.

I do not see Laymont (France) on the list?

https://www.les-iris-de-laymon...

He has lots of really interesting ones, including new ones from Blyth and several of the top American hybridisers.

...and Tempo Two (Australia) is closing down after this season Crying

Anyone know if Bluebird Haven is still operating?

I sent them an email at the beginning of the week and haven't heard back.

It looks like they posted on FB back in march of this year about a new website, but the only one I could find cites "2014" with the catalog link.
