yes, next year. I went to a site last night and they are closed for this year too. that always makes me feel sad. It's like it's really over for the year.... The window for buying irises is so narrow its not a wonder we make lists all year. I think you can order form Gilbert H Wilde anytime and get the ones he has potted. I have gotten some and the pots are really small but the irises are growing and you do not have to do anything but pop them out of the pot and into the ground. They do not have enough dwarfs and I try so hard not to fall in love with a big iris. Saying that I just got
Canned Heat - a replacement
crackling Caldera
Dream Team
Dural Snowflake
Fortunate Son - always been on my wish list but pushed back by others
Grandma's Lace
Leaps And Bounds - another from a long standing wish list
Louisa's Song
Mad World
Mango Passion - pale orange
Matt McNames - another just to clean up a wish list
Rosy Forecast - saw this at the iris show and it was love at first site.
Hush Hour
Scatterbrain - another to take off the wish list
and Solomon's Seal - Beautiful and could not resist.
How's that for a person who is trying not to get any more TB's than really, really pretty ones.
