2. You haven’t gotten any of the other free offers here on Daves this season.

*Sigh* I rarely get enough cold weather for these to bloom for me...*Sigh*

What does 'sdb' stand for?

Standard Dwarf Bearded. These are irises that grow between 8 and 16 inches. They do really well in Maryland, Catbird and you'll be pleased to get them from Neil. I've been trading with him for years. He's one of the good ones!

Edited to correct measurement.

Yes, I got some tall bearded iris from Neil last year and they were the heartiest growers this year for me. Very happy, very healthy, and very pretty iris.

Catbird, I'd suggest box #2. (I feel like the old "Let's Make a Deal" game show is on and I'm yelling at the TV, "take box #2"! LOL)

Roni

Thanks , Roni and Max's Mom......what they are both saying is I am an addict with more iris than sense........but they said it in such a nice Southern way..... down here you can say the most awful things to or about someone and as long as you finish it with "Bless her heart", it's ok.

Neil, bless your heart, you do travel too much! LOL

Any left? I would like #1 or #3. Had to replace refrigerator and catalytic converter on car this year, so there went the iris budget! I can reimburse postage!

Neil,

I am an iris addict that moved from California (with few or no frosts) to La Pine Oregon, at 4200 feet in the high desert, where last year we had a hard freeze EVERY MONTH OF THE YEAR! This year has been warmer, but I have given up on TB's because I usually lose the bloom to late freezes. SDB do much better. So now I am growing some TB in pots in my greenhouse and hoping to cross them to SDB to produce IB's.

If you still have a box looking for a home, I would love them. I can send you the postage. Sending address via dmail.

Thanks
Bill

Would enjoy!a box that is available.
Great! area here for growing iris.
Thanks!

Everything's gone for now. Will probably post some more in two/three weeks when I get back home.

Gee Neil and I thought I could con you out of one...HEHEHEHEH

A couple I would have loved, not needed but just wanted. Each person is getting quite a nice selection.

D

Dee what are you after now, be specific -- come on what would a woman with hundreds perhaps thousands possibly WANT for? LOL.

Roni

turquoise and green not olive colors have Tropical Shouls green tree but need more for the trail...and MOI have thousands of little ones nay just this year about 350 +

HE HEHEHEHEEH

D

Dee-

You have only to ask. If I have extra pieces, they're yours.

Neil

So that would be in the tu tu turquoise, tu tu teal, jade stone ranges huh?

350+ little ones -- girl, I tell you how you manage to find time for other pursuits like grandbabies and family I'll never know.

Roni

Dee If you have Snow Tree, its seedling parent had blue stripes which is why they showed up on Miss Meredith. Just had your aphylla brought in as it has started to rain. No kidding? I see we should send some to Seattle.

I have Miss Meredith. Its beautiful, my only sadness was it didn't bloom this year and it and another had their tags removed over winter so I'm not sure which is which.

Roni

well yesterday it was 110 here as well...too darn hot to work I can tell you.

I do not have any of the ones you mentioned Roni, will need to find them as working with greens and turquoise for medians

D

Neil, I would love to trade Patacake and Jade Stone if you still have any
