I'm being good this year, so I hope this happens again next season.

I'm in Illinois and was thinking of getting some irises from his sale. I'm very new to gardening, and haven't ever planted them before. Is it too late in the season for me to be doing this?

northern or southern IL ? It is on the way to getting late if you are in the north. You can put a rock or a brick on top of your rhisome to prevent heaving.

I'm in Northern IL Probably safer to wait until next season. Bummer.
I had to google what heaving is! So much to learn!

You should still be alright , as far as "survival", planting now, but , odds are, you won't get much bloom next year. I'm a *little* colder than you, and I figure the "survival" date is Sept. 15th (having enough of a root system to make it through the winter).

I did!

Tim 's rhizomes are very large and healthy. They were the best ones I received this year. Wish I had room for more or I would order again.

I've had Double Chocolate for 3 years now and it just kind of grows enough to live after the main ones rot. Maybe it will bloom one day.

Oh no! How sad It would be rough having it but never seeing it's beauty.

I've seen nothing but great reviews and if you all vouch I might as well see for myself.

Well he had a Burseen I needed. So it needed a couple of companions for the trip. Why did I look?🙇

Rio Rojo and Double Chocolate!

Liz, How do you become "friends" with Beaumont Ridge Iris? I only see the Like button. Maybe Facebook doesn't have the friend feature for commercial entities?

Ivor, I had the same question as you. I couldn't see anyplace to "friend" on the commercial FB page. Anyhow, I just started looking through the albums and marking the ones I wanted. Timothy (Beaumont Ridge Iris) sent me a friend request a few minutes later. Hope this helps.

OK, thanks! I'll give it a look-through.

It is too late for this year's sale. But, I think if you go into your own account and then to Beaumont, you will be able to ask to be friended. Before I worked that out, I send a message from his account to him asking to be friended.

I just wanted to say I received my order a few days ago. Wow! Those are some awesome plants and great service! A big thank you to Timothy.

P.S. The sawdust doesn't bother me one bit.
