Leslie, I ordered it from Superstition.

Thro' all the tumult and the strife I hear the music ringing; It finds an echo in my soul— How can I keep from singing?

Sherry -- please cancel those two Irises for me. I have not been able to do the work on Iris Lane, which would have enabled me to plant a bunch of Irises in there. I hope this doesn't cause you any problem -- and I thank you for thinking of me.

No problem Bonnie and Mary Ann..

Sherry, let me know when you return so I can dig the Iris you want.

I am more interested in trading now than I was when I first got on the site and asked you about iris for postage. Possibly, you might consider trading with me since some of your requesters no longer need those iris. Yuk. That sounds more pitiful than when I wrote it

Now I probably messed up the icons, too. Anyway. Think of me and mine when you have a second. Hope you have a great time at your music festival in Northern Cal. We spent many summer weeks near Redding, waterskiing.

Greg,
I've copied your list and will look at everything next week when I get back. I know I don't have enough That's All Folks, Venita Faye, Secret Service (nearly lost that one), and probably Kathy Chilton. Mercury Rising, I'm not sure (darned thing is blooming right now).. but the rest are ok, I'm pretty sure..
I'll go through your list too and have a look see..

Try Bluebird Haven Iris Garden
http://www.bluebirdhavenirisga...

They have Argus Pheasant and Spun Gold in stock. They also carry Allegiance, Copper Lustre and Skywatch, but are currently out. (They do not carry Kilt Lilt.)

You might put in a request for the others for next year.

I just saw Kilt Lilt somewhere.
Exline had it, I think.

I have several of this IRIS for swap if anyone has any available in a different color. I don't know the name but can tell you it's been in our family for 4 generations. Super hardy and loves to multiply. I'm in Alabama with super red chirt clay dirt and where they grow I do not have to weed due to all the pin oak trees we have due their leaves shedding in fall and automatically mulching the IRIS as well as killing out any weeds. However, I do have to pluck out little oak trees several times a year like the one in the pic attached. In the last couple of years I have found that I need to exercise since completing cancer treatments and working with the IRIS has made that alot easier for me since my strength & weight is not where I want it to be yet. Let me know if you would like to swap. Thanks & enjoy each day cause time on this earth is short!

Crusted,

Your iris looks a lot like 'Indian Chief.'
