Tom, I don't really have that much control, it's just been so long since I'd ordered Irises that plenty have been introduced and have dropped in price in that time. I love it that I can be cheap and feel really extravagant, LOL. There's also so many other plant genera I have to spread the budget out among, Daffodils and other fall bulbs, Peonies, and various other perennials- I'm a general flower hog, LOL.
