Since he sent me two I really wanted as bonuses last year (Quench & Flaming Lips) my first pick will be Route 66

then if it is available (it's limited) the BB Bonjour

or Ron Mullin

After that it will depend on what the new site/catalog has to offer! Don't want to set my choices in stone only to find a new beauty I want more!

Leslie, I think I can share a Ron Mullin with you next spring.

Bonnie! That would be wonderful!!!

I forgot before to add I WILL be ordering Elizabethan Age! Love this one.

Leslie, I can share some Bonjour, I know I promesed someone else some, but I should have enough for both of you. Just remind me, now go shopping again.

Thanks Tom! Such a hardship to have to go back and pick out different iris ! So many droolworthy (to steal Rob's phrase...)

Leslie -- our similar tastes arise again -- I love Elizabethan Age -- have been intending to get that one for a long while!! I am partial, it seems, to the luminatas!

If ever rhizomes came in two packs you and I could share a mighty large bunch of them Mary Ann!

I'm loving Bonjour and Route Sixty-Six. Those two are new to me! Thanks for sharing you shopping list!

Next best thing would be to collaborate on a list of newer/intro Irises that we both love -- each order half of the list, and then in two years time, share rhizomes!!

Good idea, Mary Ann.

That is a very good idea! I am up for giving it a try!

Cool! We'll share notes when the new catalogs come out, ok?

Works for me!

I love it! Strategic Purchasing! I'd be happy to get in on the plan if anyone is interested!

I would be interested Marilyn, there have been quite a few times I've noticed we have the same taste.

Since this is the Happy Holidays thread I thought I would post this here. Since it is New Year's Eve and many people are making resolutions I thought I would share mine with all y'all. With tongue in cheek.....

I saw a Dr. on TV who said that we would all have inner peace if we finished the things we started. Well, who couldn't use inner peace... so, I looked around the house for things I had started and had not finished. First I finished a bottle of Grey Goose, a bottle of Chardonnay, a boddle of Bailey's, a buttle of wum, the mainder of a valenium scriptins an a box of chokletz. you haf no idr how goud i feel rite now! i recomen yu send this to all who need inner piss. then call all yore garden friens. and tellum. you. lovem.

Wishing a happy, healthy, prosperous, safe New Year to All!!!

Too funny Bonnie! I think I need some inner piss...I'll have to see what's laying around my house!

Oh, and Bonnie, I would love to do some purchase/trade deals with you!! When I get a list together I'll tree-mail you. If you do the same we could compare and see which ones we want to share.

tellya I luv it.

Happy New Years to all!
