I don't navigate well on FB..... I need their catalog. I may use last years and just email to see what they have cancelled for this year.

Bonnie - Greg listed the deleted iris above. Their catalogue doesn't have pictures but you can Google image the iris if you can't find it on Facebook. Just go to Google, click on images, then type (example) iris Burseen Cranfils Gap

Thank you, Leslie, I don't have a problem finding the photos I just hate to go back and forth from the old catalog to the deleted lists. whine......

Lestv said:I got mine from C&T Iris Patch. They have it in with their SDB's for some reason.

I think they list it there because its height puts it with the standard dwarfs. I noticed some vendors are listing the shorter AB's as dwarf AB. Interesting. I have Patriots Gem, Chain Reaction and Persian Sapphire all listed as dwarf AB's. I will check out C&T irises. I ordered from them last year.

Drat! I went to C&T and started putting irises into my cart and got to Eye To Eye and it says they are out. Maybe they have not updated their inventory yet. Don't they know it is mid December and we want irises?!?!?! LOL

I am sure they aren't open yet for 2016. If they knew you were waiting, I am sure they would have opened early. Hee.

Glamazon
Jealous Guy
Just an Elusion
Just Too Mauvelous
Molten Flame
Ravissant

Mary Ann, just think of it as future sharing opportunities

Thanks Rob.. I could have thrown a dart and got equally nice ones.. So many good ones. I didn't even get into any of the Ghio's.. I'll save those for later...

I was curious to see what Pattern Play looked like, but it's not in the data base. Is it spelled differently?

Politicians are like diapers, they need to be changed often, and for the same reason.

Superstition is being very nice to me while I dither around with my choices. And very patient too.

So far I have ordered:

Beach Baby - SDB
Cranfil's Gap
Chocolate Swirl - SDB
Dancin' Fool
Grapenut - BB
Lightsaber
Maggie Beth

No Fear No Peer
Private First Class - SDB
Smiles At Midnight
Super Frill

I am still deciding on a few more Burseens

Yeah, R & R are very patient guys ! I usually, change, add to, or otherwise modify my order several times before 'ship date', and they take it all in stride !! And, I get the feeling that the "customer service" is equally good whether you order 101, or "just 1".

They even recognized that I was Lestv from ATP. I am impressed.

They sure have a nice selection of historics and arilbreds. I will have to sort through those after the catalog comes out. Or after I see how much bed space I can create before planting time!

I'm a semi-retired studio potter.

I like Superstition's personalized service too, Leslie.
(I'm a ditherer, at times, also)
I ordered just past midnight on the 15th! Other time zones got in earlier!

Sherry, I ordered Velvet Valentine too. Let's keep our fingers crossed!

Leslie, I got 'Private First Class' last year... It's pretty cute.

I got my order in much later than you did Jan, so you've got first dibs over me.. Who else has put in orders here?

Thanks Rob. They may become future participants in the rhizome battle.
