OK, like so does it count if you add more iris to an existing order? is that ok, or do I need to repent some more???

well, perhaps I should not mention that Sutton Iris is up and running for 2014. I lost them while they were moving and taking care of their family but now I have found them so I sent them an order. I had to for their sake. I am a kind person.

I only ordered a few. Their inventory is going to have to grow so now they are just getting started again.

I've been agonizing over the HIPS sale list, trying to whittle my order down to just 10, close as I can come is 12, but I've got a couple more days till the sale opens, so I should be able to get by with no more than 15 ...Arlyn

Arlyn....did you order Peekaboo Zebu for Rita?......come clean.

Tom -- I don't think you need to re-repent -- once repented, done, I say. Order away!!!

Thanks, I feel better now! I'm free to sin again!

No, Paul, I didn't! I did get Bewilderbeast to go with her Baboon Bottom....that didn't come out right...to go with the Baboon Bottom she had already ordered... that sounds better! So she'll have a couple more broken colors for "her" iris bed.....Arlyn

Bewilderbeast is beautiful in bloom.


I have nothing so say about how it will compliment her bottom!

I just picked up 22 cultivars from a friend who is heading to Florida in the Fall.

I just ordered 4 more.. ..but it's NOT my fault!! I needed them as "test plants" for some of the "wrong" iris from last year!. ..Honest! ....had to do it!.......Forced by circumstances beyond MY control !. ...Arlyn

Greg!!! You must feel like a kid at Christmas!

Here's the list of what I got. On some of these, I got five or more rhizomes!

WOW!!! I recognize some of these and some I have never heard the name even. What a wonderful gift! Now I cant wait to see the blooms they will produce for you.

What a great gift!

May your friend enjoy Florida.

I only have 7 out of that list. (have or have on order) Temporal Anomaly was planted for the second time last summer, and it died, I'm getting a replacement, 3's charm right?

that is a very very nice friend!!! Some really great iris in that bunch!

Well, I am a newby and just getting started. I currently only have one but I ordered 9 for fall delivery. I am getting:

Coffee Trader
Reckless Abandon
Fly Your Colors
American Classic
Beverly Sills
English Charm
Sing a Song
Two-Sided Coin
Victoria Falls

This is exciting. When they arrive, what is the latest they can be planted??

Cynthia - the sooner you get them in the ground, the better. You want the roots to become as established as possible before the ground becomes frozen. I can't remember when the first frost starts in MI (been awhile since I lived there), but I would plant them in August. There are some Midwesterners on this forum that can probably give you their planting timeframes, like Tom @tveguy3.

You chose a nice group of colors for your first order! I hope you enjoy them!
