Well, most places like that just send you what ever isn't selling, and it might be a lot of the same thing. You never know, as it's their choice to what they put in there. I sell grab bags at my iris sale, 10 varieties of my choice, not identified, in a bag for $15. I always make sure that there are at least 10 different varieties in the bag, sometimes more, and often more then one of a kind. It's my way of finding homes for the extra ones I have and charging just enough to make sure that they take them home and plant them. Many times these customers come back as they were very pleased with what they got, and sometimes they start wanting identified ones. I had to limit it to one grab bag per customer, as I had a couple who were taking them to the farmers market and selling them for $5. each when I was charging$15. for 20 irises.
Politicians are like diapers, they need to be changed often, and for the same reason.
