Hurray! Yay! This thread is working to find irises! Hurray!

Charlotte, thanks for offering to share 'Hell's Gate' and 'Sirocco Mist'. I've added 'Feeorin', 'Myra's Child', 'Poplyte', 'Rosemary's Dream', and 'Tanzanite' to the master list. It appears others members can supply the other three irises on your list. I'm not sure which varieties of the 5 remaining varieties Bonnie can share, so if you receive any, let me know and I'll remove them from the master list.

Bonnie, I removed 'Hell's Gate' from the list. Hurray!

Barbara, since it sounds like 'Sirocco Mist' might not be available until 2019, I've left it on the list.

I'm happy to re-add or delete any varieties from the list.

Thanks for all the responses. I'll be getting back to each of you. Maybe we could make it a trade. I added a lot of SDBs and other medians in 2016.

@evelybinthegarden I have added your name to Sirocco Mist.

No problem! For now, I'm just editing the list and searching some iris catalogs, which I don't mind doing at all. Thanks for the acorn, Bonnie!

Oops, I think the 'thanks' should have been given to Liz.

Bonnie, did I miss a message in the "2018 Orders" thread? Certainly, 'Frosted Angel' isn't travelling alone, is it? Big Grin I'm all ears!

Hilarious! Hilarious! Hilarious! Scott and Lilli. It is traveling almost alone. I ordered a little replacement iris for one that has suffered abuse from paws. Glare I replanted what is left and pushed metal kabob skewers into the soil among among them. The cats cant move the skewers and they stick up at least six inches. Smiling

So little Frosted Angel is travelling almost alone. I am only adding SDB's (with the exception of a few others i can't resist) and it is hard finding a site that has very many i don't already grow. Glare Shrug! I thought i remembered them having MDB Spot of Tea and looked for it but it is no longer listed on their site. Sad

I didn't see Spot of Tea on their website, but as I mentioned before Ross Road is selling it this year.

Thank you, Liz. Its on my list of Ross Road irises. I was trying to see if i could add it to the order for Frosted Angel to save on shipping $$$. Smiling

It's the shipping that gets me into trouble, before I know it I have ordered 12 Iris instead of the six that I wanted! D'Oh! Hilarious!
