It would take me quite awhile to go through the ones that I have. I will say that I have had Cupid's Arrow and Cupid's Wish for some time. They are both beautiful Irises, and decent growers. Poor Cupid's Arrow is in one of the sections of Iris Lane that took the big hit last year, so I would not have any to share. Cupid's Wish is a gorgeous Iris:



I've had it several years, and don't think that I've ever thinned it. It's possible that there would be rhizomes to share this year -- remind me during bloom season.

Starring can be tempermental. I've had it for a couple of years -- and I have a very poor, crowded group of it in a bad section of Iris Lane. I'll probably get that section repaired and amended this year, and then I would be thinning Starring -- in which case I would have rhizomes to share. But they would be small (likely) -- you would maybe do better getting it from someone else.

Paul Black has been a vigorous grower here. You would love this Iris. I thinned and moved mine this past year -- don't know if it will be thinnable again this year, or not -- again, remind me to check it this spring.

Gonna do this in two posts so I don't lose anything.
