Yes, this is the worst time for iris growers. I am thinking I should have bought more of a particular variety, more from a vendor, more for a particular bed.... just more. It has the same feeling as a kid anticipating Christmas for months and then.... it is over. you know you have to wait another year for it to come again. When the irises quit blooming I order more and start planting and sharing. but when fall comes and I cannot order any more and it seems so long until spring........
