Well. Just got home from vacation and walked around the yard to do a quick check up. Boy did the Iris take off last week!

Role model is gone, It's been struggling for a while, it just gave up.
Tempting fate is now gone for sure. It's been struggling also

And jazz band, One of my horrible scheriders order from last year has one little tiny sprout and the rest has rotted out. Well give it 2 weeks and see what happens but not looking good. I loved this one too. But I'm not ordering from them again after lasts years debacle.

Jen -- I have Role Model, and it's done well in the past. It's in the troubled section of Iris Lane -- but if it's healthy this year, I'd be happy to send you a start. Would you remind me in a couple of months? I still don't have my trade lists transferred from the old computer to this one........

My Sheer Excitement just went totally dormant over the winter and no response from it this spring. The rhizome is just sitting there.

Thro' all the tumult and the strife I hear the music ringing; It finds an echo in my soul— How can I keep from singing?

Mary ann, that would be great I will do that!

Bonnie.- I might be able to share sheer excitement. Let me check it this week when it warms up a bit. That's one I can't think of right off the top of my head.

This one isn't really a goner, just another that I got with the wrong name.

Star In The Night

It's blooming as Bahama Blues. So it looks like I now have Bahama in 2 spots.

So I hope you find Star In The Night somewhere else in the garden Rob!

Mary Ann, thank you very much for the offer, and I would be happy to wait until 2017.

@Grannysgarden ... pretty sure my Sheer Excitement will make it through the season and I can share.

Took a look at my Role Model -- I have a very large, healthy-appearing clump that desperately needs thinning. There should be no problem with shares this year......(she said hopefully).

I was told there might have been a mix up on the names of Bahama Blues and Star in the Night. So instead of a mix up, they both ended up being Bahama Blues. Star in the Night went back up on the want list.

Mine is new, but I will tell it to grow fast so I can send some to you!
