request known wants pre-catalog...
order a catalog, want more, fill out order form and mail in, email more emergency wants before order ships

btw, Superstition sends awesome irises!

Rick and Roger wanted to add that you need to request a pre-catalogue list to be emailed to you as they don't automatically send it to everyone who gets the catalogue.

Thanks for the Obit Arlyn. She was even older than I thought. She had a very good life, and got to enjoy what she loved until the end, which is a blessing.

Does anyone know where to buy a rhizome of MDB Minute Angel. It was introduced by Lee Walker in 2013. It should not be that hard to find but I cant find it anywhere. Any help would be appreciated.

Dang Rob. You posted only 30 minutes after the request. What a stud!

Tall Bearded Iris (Iris 'Lady Fire')

This is my garden photo when I grew it. Because of Iris borers I began moving my Iris (soaking and cleaning the rhizomes well with heavy bleach solution before moving) to a new location. Unknowns to me, that location had a tendency toward rot (and we had too wetter summers in a row that was unusual and I'm not complaining about that because most all my other plants loved it). I lost this beautiful Iris and I love its name.

Mine doesn't look like the photos in the database, and it can be added:

Teresa, 'Lady Fire' is a beauty. I've added it to the list; I hope someone can find it!

Don't take them all please @BlueFlagFan Scott, I haven't had time yet to research, get there, and get in line.

Leslie! @Lestv

I found a vendor that appears to carry Humming Bird's Blessing: "Tina and Daughters Iris Gardens" in Billings, MT.

Their website appears up-to-date; the home page states "Closed for the 2017 season. Look for this website to be updated and reposted in April 2018." Their photo of HBB seems to be true.

If HBB is still available when they update their website and you purchase it, let me know so I can delete it from this thread's list.
