Sherry, It might be easier to just send them a list of what YOU have, and tell them to send everything they have that's NOT on your list Sticking tongue out

Why hasn't anyone ordered Devil's Intent? It is gorgeous. I am pretty fond of Honey Pie too.

I would love to have both of them, you're right they are gorgeous - but I have to keep a bit of money back for other orders... Shrug!

What about you? Placing a Tempo Two order?

Those were both on my maybe list but I kinda felt like they were too similar to stuff I had. I would want Devil's intent for hybridriding but apparently it's difficult to cross with. I'm still on the fence about it. Honey Pie is similar to Almost Famous which is a BB he introduced last year. I intend on getting both eventually but maybe not til next year.

I got Almost Famous last year, so hope for blooms in April or May. I think the new TB Sweet as Honey looks more like Almost Famous than Honey Pie does?

cliftoncat said:Beautiful, Lilli! Not such a modest order as you led us to believe, though... Hilarious! Hilarious!


I beefed it up by posting images and not just the names! Hilarious!

The 'Storm Brewing' intro was on my list before I started adding the numbers... I still want it! Lovey dubby ...and a couple of the other intros too... Sighing!

Oops sorry I was confusing it with Sweet as Honey. I'm actually not that interested in Honey Pie for some reason. I like Flauntress a lot.

There really are a lot of stunners this year! Maybe Magic keeps calling to me too, but it also isn't different enough to some others I just bought so I'm trying to be good and wait. That peachy flush through the standards though oohhhh...Maybe I'll get super lucky somehow and get a few intros for gift irises Crossing Fingers!

I was very tempted by Lucy Lovejoy and Painted Words - but LL is sort of (not totally) similar to Wild Angel, which I have, and Twerk, which I shall order this year; and I thought that PW would have to wait another year...

Lilli, yes I potted up the TT rhizomes on arrival - they grow really fast so I suggest you should be generous on pot size. I had intended to bring lots of them to France, but they started blooming within 3-4 weeks of arrival, so they stayed in England.

I really love Storm Brewing and Tend my Heart.... D'Oh! Sighing!

Is it very wrong of me to hope it sells out before I break down and order it too? Big Grin

Can anyone tell me what the exchange rate is for the Australian currency? For example an iris listed for $25 dollars, how much does that work out to be in US dollars?

I am seriously tempted to place an order...I just didn't buy enough irises last year and I've got an iris itch! Hilarious! Hilarious!

$17.75 USD. It's 0.71 to the dollar.

Liz, where are you getting your exchange rates?

Thanks Rob, I meant that I multiplied by 0.71 to get the conversion. I suppose its more like 0.77 though . It is 1.31AUD to 1USD. So 25 AUD is actually more like $19 USD. Whew, I shouldn't be up this late...
