Okay, I am a geek when it comes to movies and TV shows. When the very first Star Wars came out I saw it 14 times in the theater. So yesterday I told my bestie that I got an iris named Obi-Wan Kenobi.

His reply: "Not as random or clumsy as a tulip. A elegant flower .... for a more civilized age."

Hope you guys catch the reference......

You are welcome, Sherry.

Thanks for Obi-wan too Debra!

No wonder you're going in circles Tom, it looks like someone nailed one of your feet to the ground.

That was pretty clever of him Leslie.

Would be thrilled, ticked to death, overjoyed and grateful to recieve any boxes anyone wants to send me. My knee is kinda working after my revision and I can get them planted this year. Still building my iris collection. I love them all!

Fantastic lace actually came with my Williamson order originally. Squirrels loved it so much it's literally missing. Thats what prompted me to go back to Thelmas on the holiday. I loved it so much i bought four for $8 this time and received 6 with little increases . I was so impressed to see it in person i needed more.

I confess I received a box from Deb, and man o' man I'm still excited.

As for dig season, I still owe a few of you as promised and will wait till maybe mid June. Some of my increases aren't the largest, probably due to potting them, but none the less they are plantable and and may surprise you with a bloom next year.

So no hint on what you got Gabe? You are leaving the fanatics waiting....

Those were some great Deb boxes!

Courtesy of the earlier great boxes Deb received from generous NGA folks.

I got a box from Debra also! It was wonderful! And Jane got a small box technically from Debra too! ( which I will take to Jane) Sorry I don't have my list with me at the moment I will update later!

All are potted and growing great! Now awaiting transplant into the nursery raised gardens which needs is in the process of being emptied out and transplanted into its own new row.

My Napa order came today!!! Not going to get them planted in this rain though.

As always their rhizomes are big and fat. I am so excited because they gave me Teasing Tiger as a bonus!!

Stripes, luv me some stripes

Not that the rest of the order isn't items I am looking forward to as well - Cherokee Blaze, Chocolatte, Darn Tootin', Grace Upon Grace, Mesmerizer, Point Of No Return and Spice Trader.

So exciting when those boxes arrive!

iciris said:I received my Burgard order today too. Rhizomes are clean and as big as Napa's or Superstition's. They didn't have one I ordered (Forever Blowing Bubbles) and the sent me a check along with the rhizomes. I'm impressed and will not Hesitate to order again.

Copied from the 2016 orders thread.

Just saying in the other thread storms stopped me in my tracks this afternoon.

I agree with you that Burgard has nice huge rhizomes. And very nice to work with. It is great to see that everyone is getting different bonuses from Napa. And all stellar choices by them.
