I have received the healthiest plants from Stout Gardens in OK. The roots are solid, clean and the leaves are green, and smell fresh. It takes about 10 days before the greenery starts to grow. The order from Schreiners last summer was disappointing. The tops were mostly brown and dried out. Very little green. I was surprised as their irises are somewhat pricey. One appeared to have died and the others didn't show any greenery growth for about a month and a half. C and T Iris Patch had some of the Schriener irises I was interested in and at a cheaper price at times. I will check them out again in 2023. I have not ordered from Mid America but they have quite a few nice ones. Nola's in California was good. Iris I received from Echo were ok.
