Some irises just take us out of the realm of rational thought. We just have to go with it, or we will be tortured with desire until we have it. Might as well give in right away, who knows, tomorrow is not a guarantee and yesterday is gone.

"Some irises"? ....I think irises in general have taken me out of the realm of rational thought...wait, that's a realm I never knew, so I don't really know what I'm talking about...

My newly completed Superstition list consists of 97 TBs, 4 BBs, and 15 IBs, and I have a Mid America list too....This is hopeless...

The sooner you get an iris planted the sooner it blooms and multiplies in your garden. That is just good common sense. If you wait a year to buy it the price may be cut in half but by then you will have twice as many sooooo.......

I often tell myself that Bonnie- I may be rationalizing, but I'm ok with that, LOL.

yes tortured with desire
for all of your support!
This is a very nice but dangerous club
Wish me luck today--I must concentrate on other things and try not to panic about my order that needs to get finished ASAP before they run out of irises that I *need* to have but don't even know about yet
Oh the insanity

Dirt - that is a very good choice to fall for! I have been trying to ignore it's charms.....

I completely agree, that's why I have soooooo many in pots still.

I just got my catalog!!!!!

ok, that last statement is true, but there are circumstances.

1. No, my mail person did not delay delivery so they could peruse the contents.
2. No, it didn't just get to my mail box.
3. Yes, my sister-in-law had it.

I was away and got back late Monday. It snowed a lot on Tuesday and we were lazy and did not pick it up until today.

Now I have IRIS homework to do!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Greg - you are being quite the slacker considering.... Get an order in!

Got mine too!

Interesting fact: I have two of these five. Would love to get the other three! (I have "Eye For Style" & "Dusky Challenger")

Glad I got a pre order in! ....with Eye for Style already paid for

Dusky Challenger was the favorite iris in the AIS poll last year. It has been for some years so 'search & you will find' it.

Lucy - I just might have DC. I'll check when I get home.

Blessings

I would dearly love to have Birthday Bash and Eye For Style! Oh well -- there's always next year.....

both are gorgeous!

Out of those, I'm missing (and would love to have) Birthday Bash and Maggie Beth.

I don't need DC. I was just stating that it was easy to find. Thank y ou.
