I'll agree with Cindi....,and with Paul !! There is one web-cataloge that I would love to order from.... but I can't figure out how !? And another that, I'm told, is an excelent source for some hard-to-find historics...but I can't find them !? Fancy, high-tec websites, with lots of bells and whistles, but pretty darn hard for the average Joe( or Arlyn) to navigate, understand, or use! I order from Blue Jay a lot, and have for some years now, and I'll agree that some of the photos leave a little to be desired, but also ,one must keep in mind that where it's grown has a LOT to do with how it looks. Jim Hedgecock, of Comanche Acres once told me that he sometimes doesn't recognize his own iris, when they are grown in certain parts of the country! And that's like a dad not knowing his own kids!! I guess if we "have trouble" with a web-catalog we should complain to the owner, but I think most of us "vote' with our pocket book, and buy elsewhere. I'm sure they all try to be the "perfect" source, but it's hard to please us all.......Arlyn I tip my hat to you.
