I got Plot Line too this year. My local Iris society got it as a "Club Buy". I picked it up along with "Oil Painting" and "Border Skirmish" for free! Like that price!!!! *Blush* *Blush*

Plot Line is awesome, I bought it, and then got another one for a bonus, so I ended up with two. It's enough different from Super Hero so one should have them both!!! Whistling

Completely agree(since I have both I MUST agree). I want "Rum & Coke", but after looking at them side by side, I may have to skip it for something else. Whistling

Well, when I see the catalog, I am sure I will go over board. Problem is; I'm not much of a drinker.

So many pretty Iris going by, I'm having a hard time keeping up. A couple of nice Ghio Irises went by as door prizes last year, and I suspect the same will be true this year. He puts Iris out in front of his house to sell in the summer... I'd drive by a couple times a week to see what he had out there. I kind of felt like the Iris Stalker... Whistling One day I was going through the box, taking my time looking everything up in his catalog. A woman came up and told me I was hogging the Iris and that I should leave some for her. Glare So, I'm not only an Iris stalker, but an Iris hog too. Thought you all should know who you're hanging out with. Blinking Hilarious!
The surest sign that intelligent life exists elsewhere in the universe is that it has never tried to contact us.

The "....not much of a drinker" was a reference to "Rum & Coke". Right?!? Blinking

Yes Greg...it's just i my family we take things and run with them...kinda string the kidding along. Sorry if I confused you!

Sherry I would have been doing the same thing if I had a chance to buy some of Joe's irises!! As Debra so aptly put it...the company's pretty good in the Iris hog pen! Hilarious!

Yes, there were many other options for how to handle that...too bad, she could have made a new friend, instead she offended a stranger just because she believed she might 'miss out'.

Well -- when it comes to Irises, I can understand the *anxiety* -- however, like you said -- there were many better ways to handle it!! Yikes!

Hey Rob...have you seen any of the rain yet? We had strong winds earlier. They seem to have died down. No rain yet.

There are many, many, many worse things to be called than an iris hog! I think I would have just made a piggy sound at her and kept on digging. LOL
