Hi, when is the sale on Cubits? I hope I didn't miss it but I am not on very often and busy with canning, summer stuff. Please lmk .

Also, does anyone else need the gloves we did a co-op on a few yrs ago? I could use a few pair again.
Thanks,
Teresa

The PNW sale will be this fall Teresa. It will be posted here as well as on CUBITS.

OK, thanks Bonnie. I have been busy canning and with other summer activities I haven't checked in much. I didn't want to miss out. I have placed a order to this place. It had some nice reviews so I am looking forward to getting them.

They have an iris poem on their web page. No truer words........

edited to say 'can't put the poem here without permission'.

Just click on the link in Teresa's post if you want to read the poem. It is just under the photo!
...and it's all a little too true!

Of course I talk to myself; sometimes I need expert advice!

I loved the poem too

Wow, the mom is in her 90s and the daughter is in her 60's. It sounds kinda like on here. Our passion and love of flowers just carries us away!

I have ordered from Jubilee several times and am anxiously awaiting my order in a week or two. They are getting ready to go on vacation.
I love the poem also. Quite true!

Excellent, Jane. With more good reviews maybe I should look again before mine ship. I sent in my check for the Region 7 Fall meeting. I am looking forward to meeting you in person and other new iris folks!

I have a room reserved for the Fall meeting too! Great folks in that group. You are lucky it is so close to you.
Jubilee does not send tons of bonuses but often send two of something if they are small.
We just dug about 200 irises from our Arboretum plot yesterday (early) to separate, label, dunk and dry for our rhizome sale that is July 29th. We should make a lot of money if we get a crowd. At $4 it is a bargain. Some are quite large. We have to give some back to the Arboretum and replant at least 3 of each cultivar back into the bed but will sell the rest.
