hi everyone, u would not believe my luck in the past week!!!!!!!! a friend of ours has a HUUUUGE iris farm, and told me that the next time they thin their irises out , they would keep me in mind, well they did just that!!!! i went over on saturday expecting one of a few varietys... instead they gave me anywere from 10 to 30 of each variety , 32 varietys making a total of 450 Intermediate Irises... i was sooo shocked... they said they had a bunch of other irises (dwarf, TB, ect.) but didnt want to overload me so would get those to me when i planted the others.. well i planted 350 of the 450, and had to go back over to their place while my hubby fixed a few things in their bathroom, and again , she dug me up MORE irises... she dug me up a bunch of varieties of Arilbred irises.... prob about 10 to 15 different kinds, and about 7 or 8 kinds of i think she called them MBI's , we went back the next day for him to finish and she dug me up EVEN MORE irises.. 8 to 9 different kinds of Dwarf Irises... and when she digs them up she digs up CLUMPS... HUGE CLUMPS!!!! i am doing such a happy dance i still cant believe it!!! she also dug me up some mini daylilies.. something elf , little yellow ones... and another daylily that i cant seem to put my finger on.. i dont have the bags infront of me.. i know some of the names of the Intermediates....here are some of them off the top of my head...
