These guys are killing me! Now I received my order from Joe Ghio on Friday, and he sent a refund check for 5 that were already gone. But it's OK as I already have all of them and they were just going to be added to my existing clumps. So that brought my order down to a total of 25, and he sent 12 bonus plants! I had ordered 3 of his new introductions (BRAVERY, MAGNANIMOUS and GLIMPSE) plus I got two Super Bonus Plants (POLITE APPLAUSE and PONTIFICATE); and he sent me 4 more new introductions as gifts: SUPERHERO, WINNING HAND, DOUBLE PLATINUM and BOY GENIUS. Can't beat that!
Edit: Forgot to add that since I had ordered a few of Barry Blyth's irises from him, he included 3 Blyth irises in my gift plants: HONOURABLE LORD, CINNAMON BELLS and RAISE THE CURTAIN.
I have now received all of my orders except Rockytop -- and I hope he waits at least a few more days before sending mine. Our weather has jumped back up to over 100 again, and the monsoon moisture once again is heading our way. I can't take much humidity, and it seems that I've been potting up irises nonstop for about two weeks now -- and I'm running out of pots!
