Is it wrong that I'm waiting for you to cull these?


Just kidding...

no, but you may have wait a few years.....but i'll be willing to future share, if they thrive.😄

Liz posted a picture of Handful of Magic... It's beautiful
I remember seeing Lucy Lovejoy in past posts. It's also very beautiful. Love your order Daphne.

thank you barbara....now you see why i have some tough choices?. now, as many as i get in, twice as many have to go out.😟

Daphne, I bet they are all big healthy rhizomes too.

Nice order, Daphne. I hate the job of culling irises. I have a few that are so much alike that to keep them both is just a waste of space. I have got to disrespect one of them.

Sometimes it's nice to have two that look alike if space is available and you like them a lot if one blooms earlier, and one blooms later . Makes for a long season with a similar bloom.

And I have them planted on different sides of the garden.....

Nice box, loving those tempo two irises! I finally got all my pots in the ground, now that was a job. Maybe you will get to see them bloom this summer

Nice order, Daphne! I ordered Absolutely Cute and Cpt. Thunderbolt from them too!

It's only May and you are already getting boxes!!!???

These boxes are coming in from Australia.

Nice order from you too Lilli!

Mary, I send my trade/for postage boxes in May and early June, so people may also be receiving non-vendor boxes.

Mary - iris sent from US vendors don't usually start shipping until June or later. Since Australia's seasons are opposite those in the northern hemisphere, the ones getting iris now from Tempo Two were dug in the fall down under.

I got a box. I have been tracking it, on the hour, for days. (I may get some sleep now that it has arrived) It was thundering and raining when the postal person left it in the mailbox and I waited..... as long as I could. Now I am bonding with my little rhizomes. Debra!

This is the perfect time to plant irises here as they will take hold fast. The weather is warm but not hot and the rain we are getting every four or so days means little watering is needed. The little rhizomes act like they were never interrupted in their spring growth. I know the more northern growers are just experiencing their bloom season but I think that the gardemers that live in the south have to get it done before it gets too hotl

Daphne, Those Tempo Two iris are gorgeous.

I got a box too!

Thank you Deb! They will get potted up later today until I finish preparing their new bed. Which needs a few more passes with the tiller to fluff it up and work in some more grass clippings and decomposed wood chip soil.

Spill Rob and Bonnie. What were in the boxes?????

Pieces of love all wrapped up nice and tidy and sparkling clean.

thank you everyone, i am excited, too. the rhizomes were large, except for 'capt. thunderbolt' and i got two of those. i'm changing the water out today; they're soaking one more day, then getting a dunk in clorinated water, then potted. on sunday......happy mothers' day to all of you out there while i'm thinking about it. 😃

four in, gotta think of eight out. i think i have at least four, and maybe two more on the list. i have 2 'damsel in a dress' haven't seen them bloom but i'm not so sure i like the color combo?? hmmmm. and my 'mesmerizer' is blooming purple .

going out to take a pic to send to vendor.
