Leslie - yes, you order directly from Barry in Australia. They're on a different growing time zone, so they deliver to Tom Johnson in Oregon, in February. The orders come to Mid-America in separate boxes, with the customer's name on it - all in a larger container. The more customers' boxes in the container, the cheaper the shipping from Australia. When it gets to Mid-America in the U.S. ,Tom re-addresses each box and sends them out. He has an Ag permit so we don't each have to pay that high fee.
I think I got that right. You do, initially, pay Barry for your irises.
