Rolling on the floor laughing What? You don't plan to be around for another hundred years? :doh:
By then they will be producing irises 6 feet tall with unending blooms that are the size of basketballs!

Rolling on the floor laughing everyone! No one likes to make a typo, but some are definitely more entertaining than others! Hilarious!

I just heard back from Mr. Blyth and all of my choices were available (and will be posted shortly). So now I am contemplating how many from my list of substitutes I am going to sneak on to the 'first choice' list? Whistling

...and I am so happy to see the other lists posted so far - they make me look positively modest! Good job everyone! Big Grin

Wow, Lilli - great that all your choices are available, although I'm surprised you're getting them so quickly. Last year I waited until the end of April for mine to arrive. But the sooner they arrive, the sooner they'll settle in, so Hurray!

I have only ordered them so far - Barry just wrote back to confirm that the ones I picked (including one not in the catalogue this year) are available - they will arrive in April as they always do!

...and I believe I promised to post a list, so better get to it...

Oops, I misunderstood, thought you were getting them straight away. I think April will be better as they will have the summer to acclimatise (and perhaps give you a few summer blooms like mine did this year). Big Grin

So here's my current method..
I looked at the catalog the other night, and made a list.
I will look again, and make another list.
Those that made it on the list twice, will be ordered.

...of course, that's assuming I can find the first list.. If not, I go back and make a third list, & sometimes a fourth or a fifth... until I have all these lists floating around the house and can't remember what they're for. I throw them all out... A couple of weeks later, I can't remember if I'd sent in my order, and check online... Realizing I haven't, I go back and start the process again. I'm hopeless.... Hilarious!

Haha Sherry that really is a good method to decide how much you really want something. I feel like every time I make a list it gets longer and longer.
