OK, I'm at 274 (thereabouts anyway). And even if an enormous rhizome drops from the heavens into my lap, I will not give it growing space... (well, not this month, at least).
645, Queen of the Iris is right. Congrats!
Next year I don't think you'll be able to keep that pace up because you'll be photographing so many beautiful Iris you won't have time to look and buy.

Holy moley! That's amazing. By the way, Liz, how's Sand Dancer doing for you? I remember that from a different thread and am still curious. I bet you have lots of really interesting irises!
Funny you should ask about Sand Dancer, I just posted about it in the "Show Your Progress" thread. It is surprisingly happy! It has 2 increases and a bunch of new leaves. A little slow to start, but now is taking off. There's a picture in that thread you can check out. I REALLY want to see that one bloom next spring.
Liz, your place is going to cause a traffic jam next spring! You're our kind of crazy And if any of us are feeling like we went overboard, we just think of you and feel very restrained by comparison
