Well Sherry, maybe you're on to something, we may all have holes in our head! But you got a nice bunch of historics.

too

Ooh and ahh to historics.

I was able to find some Gypsy Lords in stock at Pleasants Valley Iris Farmer just now!

Thanks for looking, Sherry!

Two Gypsy Lords arrived yesterday. Nice fatties. Up early to plant them.

Still to come - a half dozen dwarfs and a few intermediates.

ooooh-ooooh -- I love Gypsy Lord!! Almost lost mine after it bloomed last year and seemed to produce no baby rhizomes. Thank goodness it was planted in an area with good drainage and lots of sun -- it recovered this summer (after touch-and-go this awful spring). There are two or three nice-sized rhizomes out there now that should bloom for me next spring!!

Mary Ann - my Gypsy Lord love developed slowly. I'm really kind of a ballerina, pink and orchid, chiffon peignoir, kind of iris lover. Gypsy Lord
is so in-your-face ! So bold! But my girls will love him, I think.

It's a stand-out in the garden, Jan. And a great foil for all those pastels that you love!!

I fell in love with it by seeing Paul's avatar on a regular basis!!

For any of you who happen to be wandering though Tennessee this weekend, Wild Iris Rows is having their end of season sale. All rhizomes are $1. Unfortunately none of his hybrids are included but lots of what he calls "study dependable iris" are available.

***sturdy***

Ooops! Yes, sturdy.

Maybe we need to send someone there to survey and buy. Mary Ann, tag your it (ha ha are you close to Springfield TN?)

I don't know -- let me Mapquest it.

Turns out it's do-able -- only a 2-1/2 hour drive (one way). Gonna go now and try to find their website.

I emailed. it is an on-site sale but whatever leftovers he has will be offered by email. I hope he has some dwarfs... did I say some? I meant to say lots!

Well -- I don't know what to think about this. The website says that they will have this sale on "selected varieties". But I went through their website, which is divided up by color -- and I went through five colors and every single one was sold out. These were TBs that I checked. I'd hate to make that drive for a meager selection.

I did find a gorgeous red Iris on their website that I absolutely MUST get next year -- Gerry Atwell. Check it out!!!

Call them so we can trade you for seedling NOIDs.

It's only a 34 hour drive for me (one way).
