Marilyn and Barbara, Shanny Orange is a Mark Grumbine iris. He lives in Cabot AR, and sells his iris through other vendors. He does not have email and is not computer literate so it is hard to get in touch with him sometimes. But he has many, many great irises. He is bringing me Little Lu Lyn and Christophers Curtain Call either this month or next. He recently gave all of his irises to the CAIS except the ones he is currently working with. He has taken his signs down that were on the highway and a lot of his garden has gone to grass. He, and his lovely wife Bessie, are in their eighties and they are really slowing down. She recently told me that their sons are not interested in the iris business so it is just going away. I am afraid many of his creations will go away as well. Anyway, I can get a Shanny Orange next spring if you have not gotten one by then. Just don't forget, like I will, and remind me early. LOL
Thro' all the tumult and the strife I hear the music ringing; It finds an echo in my soul— How can I keep from singing?
