Frilly: I understand. Oklahoma just came off a livestock killing 4 year drought. I live around Tulsa and while it was pretty bad, not as bad as further west. LOL on picking up and moving in order to have your flowers. Now that's a serious gardener.......Charlotte: Thanks for the information. I think I will go to the Iris sale in September to see if they have Batik. I could kick myself for not buying it already planted in a pot at Ace Hardware when I saw it 2 years ago. I'm used to planting daylilies/roses bare root, but not Iris and they look strange by comparison........Thanks Celia for the source information. The cost of shipping always is the kicker on alot of these mail order plants, but that's a good lead.......Maryl
