I want so many it took a long time to narrow down the list. I will trim it some more to make it fit a more reasonable budget, and still get the iris I want so much. I was having so much trouble deciding between some that are similar I might get them both after all. I did that last year with flowers with the Emma Cook pattern, and now I find myself just plain silly. I was trying to decide between Hollywood Star and Star Appeal last year. I picked Star Appeal only to add Hollywood star to the order this year. Confused

I did the same thing with those pinks Niki- got Star Appeal last year, but must have Hollywood Star this year!

I have a list made out for Superstition, but I'm not 100% clear on how to order. Do I send my list through facebook or email it to them? And then they will let me know the total with shipping? I've heard so many good things about them, sounds like they're worth a little extra effort in ordering!

Neal, I haven't ordered from them this year (yet) but last year I sent them an e mail. They responded quickly. Very personable, professional, and awesome to work with.

I gave my order via email. When their catalog comes out I plan to add some more. They emailed me the prices for the new addition iris that have available and said they would send an email later with the total and shipping so I can send payment. Very very responsive - and patient - as I dithered back and forth on a few Burseens. Smiling

I have heard good things about superstitions. This year I am going to order from C and T Iris Patch. I have email them and they emailed back with in about 24 hours. Have heard they are good to deal with.

Yes, very prompt- got back to me a few hours later. Even offered to dig a variety that is no longer being offered and out of commercial rotation. I was impressed by such a kind offer Thumbs up

Neil that's on nice bunch you have on order. You won't regret ordering from them.

I sent an order into Keppel's irises today. It's the first order for me for the year.

I ordered:

Keppel Irises:
Another Suggestion
Dark Energy
Flash Mob
Gheradelli Square
Mixed Signals
Arson

Blyth Irises:
Painted Words
She
Pepper Jack
Woven Sunlight

I wanted sooooo many more, but I beat myself back with a buggy whip, and made myself set some limits. Dang, it's hard to be good.. . . . I wanna be good. *Blush*

Think I eventually want Flash Mob and Ghirardelli Square, but am going to wait several years and see bloom photographs from people who bought them. Hint, hint, Tom and anyone else who gets them?... Whistling Whistling

No, no, I meant I am going to wait to decide if I really want those two until some 'real' folks' photographs are posted for comparison. THAT is the hint for Mr. Grand Cheese Head Enabler and anyone else who gets those two. Hilarious! Hilarious! Hilarious!
