Yes, Evelyn, because I think that trading is such a great idea! Think of all the surplus roots that often get thown out after a division! That's such a shame!

For example next summer I'll be dividing my large clump of Beverly Sills, and would love to trade the extras with people who have things that are on my database "wants" list.

Here's what the clump looked like this year.

• Tall Bearded Iris (Iris 'Beverly Sills')

I boxed up some rhizomes to send to some folks, but nothing near as many as I had.
I divided the Melanie clumps this year and, oh gosh, I ended up throwing so much out.
Such a waste.

I think Daisy was going to start a "BOLO" or "WANTED" thread for folks on the lookout for certain things (just before iris shopping season).

I bet if someone started a "TO A GOOD HOME" thread, folks could have an easier time sending their rhizomes out, or for trade...

I will start a thread that people can post what ever they have extra of that people can send out for postage or trade and another one for wants.

Welcome

Only thing...planting season is over for many, for this year.

yes, and so is digging season...
but planning/scheming/dreaming season is, whenever

I know it's over for many, bit can never be to prepared for next season.

Looking for Tom Burseens Call Ripley's. That's my dogs name.
Also Sisterhood by Robert Van Leires

@creativeclover Richard did you make those threads yet for what people "have extra" and for what people "want"? I think that would be a great idea. I know for me it is impossible to throw away an Iris rhizome so I pot them all up to keep them alive.

@gardenglassgems
I did make them right after I did the post. There are there somewhere.

Thanks I will look for them.

Anytime.
