It seems to be healthy and produces a moderate amount of increase. The stalks are sturdy enough to support the blooms. I've never had to support them. It's just too pretty to not have! Smiling

OK Barb -- I'm beginning to think that you're a ringer. That's an amazing amount of Blyth cultivars. Exactly how many Irises do you have altogether, may I ask???? And are *we* responsible for your irresponsible behavior? You had five Blyth Irises in 2012, you added twelve in 2013, and in 2014 you acquired 49!!!!!! OMG -- I think that's some kind of record!!!!! Hurray! Hurray! Hurray!

Mary Ann - YES! I have an order that has been priced and I expect an invoice soon. Having said that, they are definitely ok with folks adding to their order's up to dig time. They would just invoice the difference. I will ask for the details as I don't want to speak for them since I am not 100% sure.

I am expecting to add to my order and I bet a good number of folks to so; especially ones who place an order before the catalog ships out! Confused

I just placed mine and that's what he said, they bill the pre-order mid to late Jan and new catalog goes out beginning of Feb. You can add/delete up to 10 days before scheduled ship time.

If someone ordered even just one a day from a vendor that could add up to 100's before the order close date. You sure would make some vendor really really happy with that plan Tom!! Hilarious!

Mary Ann, I need to count how many I have, but I know I have 31 more than I did two days ago Hurray!
I just ordered some from Superstition (my first order from them) based on everyone's recommendations! Marilyn, I don't do facebook, but your instructions on how to find the Iris albums worked! nodding
I'll try to count how many I have tonight but if I don't post anything here that means I fell asleep counting them.... *Blush*
