Truckload of new iris!!!

[skeeter9]

Well, maybe not a truckload, but my in-laws brought me over 60 large divisions off of their beautiful irises. They have a ton of nice ones from that iris farm in Porterville (the name is escaping me at the moment). They are all rebloomers, so I might even get some blooms this fall. Can't wait to get them in the ground. They will be a nice addition to my collection. Gotta love my in-laws!!!

Lucky you Skeeter! I've been interested in rebloomers, it just seems like the iris' I have don't bloom long enough. Mine are all the common purple koolaid ones, hand me downs mostly.

Nice! I really need to split mine up this year. Not getting many blooms anymore....Enjoy your new Iris!

WOW, you have wonderful in-laws! I have a fe that really need to be moved. It has gotten shady over the years.

That's wonderful! I gave away via Freecycle almost 100 divisions of my iris two years ago, and then wouldn't you know, the gophers got the good ones I planted. So no blooms this year, and the whole bed is looking miserable.

Get pics of yours in the fall, for us.

Sutton's Iris Garden?

Yes, that's it, Chris. My in-laws live only about 20 minutes from Sutton's - lucky them!!!

Thistlebloom, do you think they would survive being shipped to Idaho? I could send you some - I've certainly got plenty! You would have to take your chances on color, though, because they didn't mark them.

Wow, Skeeter how sweet of you! I'd be willing to gamble on it if you are , I'll pm you!

 

[skeeter9]

Sure. Why not? I pm'd you back!
