The littles get left out of the importing. That was true even of many of Blyth's SDB's and IB's. I never understood why since there are some spectacular ones.

Those threads are absolutely hilarious and brilliant - I looked at the start thinking I'd skim a few posts, and ended up completely hooked. If you read it all at once, as a story, it's tears-down-your-face funny. Rolling on the floor laughing Congrats to everyone who contributed.
And Thank You! for the laugh.

Just one Barbara? Big Grin He has posted many I would love to have. But alas, very few Blyth dwarfs are making their way stateside.

That one just caught my eye! All the irises he posted are beautiful and I would love to grow each and everyone one of them in my garden. I'm just hoping the Blyth dwarfs will make it here one day!

Barbara I could not agree more. Blyth has some exceptional irises but his dwarfs are truly outstanding.

I think my priority purchase for next year will be 'Lily My Love'. My 5-year-old niece is named Lily, and I have an iris named for her sister, so I should probably have one for Lily's namesake too. Very few irises named "Lily". Not many folks seem to own 'Lily My Love' and Comanche is the one vendor I've found selling it. Better order while they still carry it! I hope they still offer it in 2018. Crossing Fingers!

Hopefully you can find a vendor near you! In my search I came across a vendor in France offering it, though I'm not familiar with EU rules for shipping plants across borders with the EU.

Good luck!
