This summer will be the test if I have finally figured out how to keep iris over the winter, both in the ground and in pots. If it is successful, I see another large area of expenditure in my future - iris
Name: Jan Wax Mendocino County, N. CA (Zone 9a) I'm a semi-retired studio potter.
Joe Ghio sent me an email letting me know that I was the first buyer of 2015!
He said he was off to Australia and New Zealand, and would visit Barry Blyth.
I may never erase that email!
You guys and gals make me feel so restrained and well behaved (with my budget). Who'd have thought the Iris forum could make me feel so much better about myself, LOL

You know what, you may be right Mary Ann. Betja, Betty, gave me an email one time and I thought it was for Joe but maybe it as for Keith Keppel instead.
My memory is notoriously bad.
I just broke down and sent a written request with a check for the $3 for the catalog by snail mail today....and you know what, for all my procrastinating, it only took me a few minutes!! I have gotten so dependent on the speed and ease of email it seemed like a major inconvenience...till I did it, and it was no big thing.
Brave you!
It's a good thing!!!
