I think he heard my pitiful whine when others were getting Brad boxes, but I wasn't...
- then one came! It had about 40 rhizomes in it - big and small.
He was also moving I think and building a new place and doing all those busy Brad things!

He's a very generous guy. I think you've already done what you need to do to be on his list for a Brad Box. :smily:

P.S. Everybody stands behind me in the line (except maybe Tom) because I was here first!!! Whistling Rolling my eyes.

I quite enjoyed my spectacular Brad box last year!

I find that I have 77 different Blyths in my list. And about 70 of those are haves and not wants. And of those, a vast majority were planted last year! Oh goodness. Blinking

But since he was building a new house and moving iris last year, will he have any to share this year? I'd like to get on that list too.

Just the thought of getting a Brad box is like winning the lottery. Drooling

Me! I was missed last year Smiling
Brad, I was actually wanting to talk to you about some Ghio iris. I'm planning to have a somewhat historical bed of his Iris ranging from old to new.. my neighbors have already given me many. I was thinking you would be the person to recommend varieties of his, and might also have some of the older ones no longer in commerce.

I am seeing some Blyth SDBs around at different sites. I think that I need 'Bee's Knees' for crosses. Ours might be gone.

Sherry,

I'll remember you this year :smily:... with Joe's plants I only have the most recent intro's from the past 5 0r 6 years have had to get rid of a lot of older ones to make space for seedlings and In the coming years i'm hoping to shrink the garden even more probably 20% named plants and 80% seedlings. I like surprises Smiling
