Goodness! I remember the long dress, and that voice. Wonder when they quit making Chiffon? I can't say I ever tasted it.

directly from Wiki:

"The Chiffon brand and product line has changed hands several times since; the first being in 1985, when Chiffon was sold to Kraft foods. The Kraft U.S. and Canada tablespreads division subsequently became part of Nabisco in 1995; who then sold the brand to Con-Agra Foods in 1998. Con-Agra discontinued domestic U.S. and Canadian distribution of Chiffon margarine in 2002. Chiffon margarine can still be purchased in the Caribbean region, however, where it is marketed by Seprod Ltd. under license from Kraft International."

She sure does.....She didn't appreciate our bringing up the margarine trick. She sent a hail storm yesterday. Bye bye to all iris in bloom (the buds are okay). And my hostas are... shall we say... aerated!

Fortunately only the open blooms. Though we will see what the buds do. Sux but.... Hopefully only a hiccup in bloom season!

I think Mother Nature is messing with us. First we had two really cold weeks and I was worried that I would not have any bloomstalks for our show this weekend. Now suddenly we are having a heatwave (around 85 degrees) and they may all come out and be done by Saturday! Go figure! Some creative planning to be done....

Dragon's Eye



"Dragon's Eye (Tasco 2015) AB/OGB showing lots of repeat/rebloom stalks a month after normal spring bloom finished. Hadn't done this before, so probably just because of the crazy weather this spring, but it almost looks like it does during regular bloom time for arilbreds!"

The new updated sold out list!!!!

Updated SOLD OUT list--orders accepted until August 8th, but more go on the sold out list every day now it seems, so if you still plan to order this year, I'd do it soon, thanks. The sold out list may look overwhelming, but there are only roughly ~120 iris on that list, we still have about 650 varieties that are NOT sold out and are still available smile emoticon
