I "bag' some I send, also, just to help keep the varieties separated in the box, and to make the marking process easier. It can get tedious marking each rhizome, when there are 3-4 of each kind, and 5-6 different kinds! For "info", I usually only include it when the box is going to a "newbie", for example, my cousins daughter( I guess she's my "second "cousin ?!) wants to start growing "family" iris, and while she was here during bloom, and they were all talked about. I'll include a sheet with a picture, name, and family
connection" in the box, for each cultivar( probably "print out" the HIPS gallery page, or the AIS wiki page, then add what notations are needed). I suppose anyone might find the extra info nice, but, generally speaking , my "trades", or "for postage" are going to members of one forum, or another, and we've already "talked" about them....Arlyn
