Yes, they do.
I think the catalog will be mailed out in the beginning of February.

If I order anything at all, it will be a small order to replace a few.

Do you ever wonder if you have too

By the time I make enough money for my own plants.....every vendor may be closed, or at least delicious intros may be gone!

TB 'Starting Fresh' blooming for me in May of 2022. It bloomed for a week and a half with nine buds.

Monty ~ I don't order intros. Are you going to be doing that?

Oops, must have missed your question, Evelyn.

I might, depends on if I can find a suitable job soon. As much as I'd love the new intros, I'm more-so on the side that I could use that 50-60 dollars on five or six other varieties vs one iris that will be lower price in years to come.

Essentially, yes, I would buy intros, but that's when I have a lot of extra money to spare and splurge. Otherwise, it's got to be an intro I adore that I'll get.

as a judge I have to keep new intros coming. However I do mostly medians, look at TBs in other gardens.

Speaking of intros, the French Iris Society has a page with some useful links to new intros from international hybridizers:
http://www.iris-bulbeuses.org/...

I think William posted the link some time back, but we have a lot of new people here. Also, I'm thinking I might not be the only one with senior citizen memory?

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

Barbara, my whole Sutton order was geared around Bottled Lightning. The area in which it was located (and maybe those other three) is bordered by a neighbor who sprayed and killed off a bunch of their Irises. They can't seem to catch a break the last two years.

Mike did put up five new introductions in the last couple of weeks. Did you see those?

It’s okay to not know all the answers.
