We were up at a music festival most of last week, and just got back yesterday. I had an email saying my order from Napa Country Iris Garden had been sent. They arrived today, and I must say they are some of the nicest rhizomes I've received. I usually stick my new arrivals into 1 gallon containers, but I decided that 3 of the 7 that I received needed 2 gallons... I probably should have been doing laundry, but I'd much rather pot up some big fat rhizomes nodding

So, in this order I got:
Tobacco Chew (what's not to love about *that* beard?)
Filoli (because I used to work there)
Almaden (because it's sort of just over the hill from us)
Moonlit Water (sooooo pretty)
New Face (saw this one at a slide presentation @ one of our meetings)
Montmartre (because everyone else is showing gorgeous pictures of it)
Sordid Lives (bonus)

'Tobacco Chew' was one that had a couple little increasing "budlets" on the rhizome.. Really looking forward to this one.. This is my year for beards.. Well, last year was too..
This is my first order w/ Napa, and I'm very pleased.

Did your Napa order come in Arlyn? What did you get?
