The catalogue is online! Finally! Huzzar!! Hurray! Hurray! Hurray!

I'm so glad I already narrowed down my choices _before_ looking in the new catalogue or I would have been in even more trouble than I am now - what a lot of gorgeous intros! Lovey dubby

I just sent my order and now I have to wait to learn if my choices are available and how much it will cost to ship them to Europe... Oh my, I'm all excited!! Hurray!

Think I might need to go have a nap to recover from all that excitement! Big Grin
Of course I talk to myself; sometimes I need expert advice!

That's great Lilli, it is definitely exciting! Since you ordered so early everything should be available, but let us know your order when you finalize it Smiling

OK, my order is in. I'm hoping I won't be adding to it, because it's much longer than I intended it to be... Sighing! Sherry was right, my resolution to limit my orders for next year was a waste of space! Hilarious!

What did you get Mika??

Also, I already added to mine, and it's been a day...I may be holding my title afterall next year since I literally have NO self control...I'm justifying it by saying that I'm saving money by ordering directly and getting the great exchange rate Green Grin!

Love Mandrake. They don't have Dragon Ben this year, or Bounce. I may just wait and see what Keppel and Iris Sisters offer next year.....

The next "Fess Up Time" will include irises that were added to your garden during the year of 2117. Don't matter that you ordered them this year, you will add them to the garden next year so they will count then. nodding

Hilarious! If we total all the iris until 2117 the numbers are going to be astronomical. Big Grin 😉
