Muddymitts said:Bonnie -- I think I can send you Chantilly Bride this year. Let me check her tomorrow. Multnomah Falls is also a possibility -- I'll get back to you on that.

Tom -- the only one that I have on your list is Hollywood Star, and I just got her last year, so it'll be a while before I can share.

Eric -- I have Queen's Circle, and I'm pretty sure she needs to be thinned. Let me check tomorrow and get back to you. I also have Accessible -- but I moved her last year, and I don't know if she has increased enough to divide. I'll check on her tomorrow too.

Richard -- I have a couple of Irises on your list, but they're too new to share yet. Again -- I'll check tomorrow and see what things look like.

Peggy -- I have Dangerous Mood. I'm sharing it with someone else this year -- I'll see if I have enough to share twice.

Thank you so much for the offer...do I have anything you want?

If you would have a mind at peace, a heart that cannot harden, go find a door that opens wide upon a lovely garden.

I found out last year that I have ones to divide but it is too late for many to want to claim them. This will be true this year too. Sorry, but unless you want Quaker Lady and Acoma for postage, the list will be a bit later.

Thank you Peggy -- but no -- I've taken on more Irises this year than I should have. As usual.

Perhaps I can take a rain check until next year?

If I can get you some rhizomes this year, it would be for postage. You ok with that?

Yes that is fine.
If anyone else wants to trade in the spring I will have a lot more increase by then.
I am not suppose to buy anymore but trading is ok

well he never said anything about trading so......

Rob -- I have Savannah Sunset -- let me check and see if there's any dividable rhizomes out there. I have Drinks (drunks) at Sunset -- but that's one that struggled with rot this spring, so it's not ready to share yet.

Decadence and Strozzapreti are also possibilities -- I'll get back to you on those as well.

I can hardly even think of any more Iris right now... I've been potting and cataloging and tagging and holy smokes I got a lot of Iris! Most of my wants have been satisfied this year... Well, there are some older ones that I feel I should have.. Debby Rairdon and Joyce Terry come to mind. I'd really like to get Apple Valley...
Flying Down to Rio, Afternoon in Rio, Buttered Popcorn...Those a just a few, and not necessarily the top of my list.. Everytime I look at a catlog or website, I add more to the list.. I've got scraps of paper with lists I make all the time. If I made a master list from all my scraps, it would be ridiculously long.

The surest sign that intelligent life exists elsewhere in the universe is that it has never tried to contact us.

I too am interested in Debby Rairdon. My wonderful clump of it turned out to be "World Premire". This was both good and bad. I thought I had lost WP, so it is doing VERY well. but no Debby.

Thank you, Mary Ann. I would LOVE a share when they become available.

Sherry, putting my wish list all together on a spread sheet was an eye opener for me. There is no way on God's Green Earth that I have the budget, time, energy or space to home what I have on my wish list. I cut it down to 10 TB's and left a spot or two open for something I may see that causes my heart to romp around. I have a few spaces for MTB's and I always pot the MDB's and treat them differently than other classes. sigh

Now I think I am going over to Dee's list again and just perhaps pick one or two to go in places where I have a gap. can't have any gaps can we!

No, gaps are bad, aren't they, Bonnie.

It’s okay to not know all the answers.

I want them all!

So nice to finally be back in touch with the world! I have been able to lurk a couple of times but could not post or tree mail or communicate in any other fashion (stupid tablet or stupid tablet user??) I have not had internet access at the house for awhile, only 4G on the device and I don't know how to use it...

I have a couple of the ones of the "wish lists" of the newer members. Let me do some checking today and see what I can do for sure and I will get back to you later. I know for sure I have Queen's Circle to share.

@Hazeleyes, you need to expand that list to include something that I grow so I can trade you for Harvest Moon!!

There you are was wondering if you had been washed away with all this rain.Was waiting until all my orders came in before sending yours.That way I could sneak in a few extra
