I got one of those from Deb, too. They are all potted up, until DH finishes my raised bed. Maybe he'll have that done by the time I get back from visiting family in Charleston. High hopes. again, Debra. You've really made my day.

That's Debra.

Not Tempo two but from 1 of y'all I got sand dancer and the only noid I ever tried to trade for thanks princess

My Tempo Two box arrived this morning!

They are currently soaking to recover from their long trip.

I got all the cultivars I ordered including a few not in the catalogue and they also sent me 3 amazing bonus rhizomes:

I'm in iris heaven!

Wish I could order a bunch from them again next year...

niiiice bonuses, lilli. i got 'hom', too. i wish i'd have know about them last year.


but hurrrray for you!

Must be good to have them arriving safe and sound, Lilli. It's such a long trip for an iris to travel.
Very generous of them to send so recent and beautiful bonuses.

Lucky, lucky you

lilli but it's sad that was your last order from them

all!

Robin, it's so sad! I was looking through their catalogue (now that it is safe! ) and there are just so many that I really, really want. Some are sold by other vendors, but I think many will just become unavailable, unless you know someone you can trade with of course.

My Tempo Two order (53 rhizomes in all) finally arrived today - delayed first by a customs' inspection (no idea why since technically it was an EU import) and then by a new postman, who claimed twice that he could not find our house... So the poor rhizomes are looking very dry - much more so than the TT consignment I received last year - but they're soaking overnight and I'm sure they will revive and flourish.

And lots of very nice gift irises:

And Barry found two I asked for that weren't in the catalogue this year:


So very happy!

On a less happy note, the Rainbow Ridge parcel hasn't arrived - I'm trying to chase it, but not having much joy. Oh well, it was worth a try.

53 rhizomes!!! Happy planting! Thiose are beautiful bonuses too. Your other order may still arrive.

Oh my! Those are some beauties! Lucky you.

Thanks, Bonnie, Celia - my DH admitted that (despite my helpful suggestions ) he wrote 'plants' on the customs declaration... so I fear I may not see the RRs, even though they were accompanied by a phytosanitary certificate.
