Well, for three dollars each, the iris roots were thick and plentiful, and the tops were green; a definite plus in my book. I've ordered iris from other suppliers that are just a piece of dried up-looking root - you never know if they're alive or not that way.

The anemone was just beginning to show; once again, I like getting plants that show life, but aren't completely grown out.

The New Jersey Tea was seven dollars; about a dollar an inch (for top growth), which is great because I've read that these can be difficult to establish. A really big plant probably wouldn't do as well.

I think they have a really good idea of what will transplant best for their customers, while keeping in mind that we want to know that what we're getting is alive, and not just a dead root.

So far, a definite Thumbs up from me. Big Grin

I'll load the one image I took when I go back inside. Smiling
