Getting caught up here...no computer last week.
I have orders with 7 or 8 vendors this year.
Iris Sisters is a particular fave, as well as Superstition.
However, I also tried out the Mid-America offer to distribute
Blyth irises, ordered from Australia by me, and Tom handled the customs
paperwork. It worked very well. A smooth transaction.
The Aussies arrived weeks ago (their iris season is much earlier than ours) and I have them planted in 5 gallon pots -
they're getting deluxe treatment! And I've been rewarded with new growth
already showing. I have the pots on the deck and can check on them regularly.
Valley of Dreams, a bonus, jumped right up.
Georgette Silk, the most anticipated, along with She, looks vigorous.
The others are doing well, too.
I'd definitely recommend this new way of ordering Blyth intros. And thanks to Tom Johnson at Mid-America!
