Yay! I am kicking my self for my "self control" (dubious) that prevented me from making an order from there.

which was what i ordered.

i received a generous gift from doug of: http://mariposairis.com/maripo... thank you.

i was definitely not going to order any irises this year, but bought 2 replacements, 1 insurance, 4 new (2 @same variety) + a 2 rhizome bonus from one vendor, 2-(insurance) kind offers, and a bonus surprise from a generous nga-er for postage. a whopping total for not ordering this year of 12 rhizomes of which i have no room to house at the moment. ( except in a pot ghetto.) i will have to cull 12 from the garden!

there have been a few that have gone by attrition due to the drought, and some neglect. but, it will still be a difficult decision which ones will get the boot.

i will really have to go over my records carefully to scrutinize the under preforming and under whelming irises to cull.
