websites & catalouge

iris catalogues should be arriving, Winterberry gardens will be posting a website soon.

Really looking forward to their website. More goodies to look at. :)

Sorry that I mispelled catalogue, but I guess everyone can use it. The website will be www.winterberryirises.com

Napa Country Iris Garden website is up
http://www.napairis.com/

And I just placed my order! They have fantastic introductions this year!!!

I'm working on my order also Betty. I see 3 intros that need a home in Philadelphia

Oh Winterberry is creating a site...yes!

Right--but I haven't seen it as yet. Takes awhile & they carry so much, I suspect pictures will be their newer plants. We will see.

It's a start, though. I'm so glad they are finally getting on the internet.

Fred Kerr has some beautiful intros this year

Mshadow, how long have you lived in Houghton Lake?

I just got Schreiner's catalog! This is the catalog that got me interested in Iris a couple of years ago. ~j

yea! for tall bearded irises they produce quite a goodly number as well as they carry some other people's plant in addition to their own. I like their 'County cork' which has a greenish tint to the yellow areas.

Mstella, I have lived just outside of Houghton Lake since 1998.

Schreiner's is my favorite also. bought a ton of Iris from them before I found out how to keep them from rotting here. Still working on it. Each year gets better but I just cringe when I think how much ($$) I lost in my initial enthusiasm.

MShadow: I used to own 10 acres on Firetower Hill years ago. My husband was born in West Branch and grew up on Houghton Lake. His dad owned Snyder's drugstore. Long gone. Aunt Roberta lived right on the lake (west side I think). They are all gone now. but I still have a soft spot in my heart for the lake.

Hope this brings back memories for you.

Fishing on Houghton Lake last year.

It surely does. Thanks so much
Mary

lovely sky.

Beautiful picture!

Got Schreiner's catalog in the mail today. Some new beauties for 2011.

still waiting for my Schreiners! already placed an order to them but for some older ones that I lost last year.

Williamson's is taking orders

Malevil isn't up yet. And Iris Sisters (they moved from Nebraska to Oregon) aren't taking orders in 2011.

my Schreiner's catalog came today!

I don't know why but last year every time I tried to pull up Interstellar Gardens wherever I ended up was sort of laid out oddly and more for view than ordering but this year when I tried looking at them, there is an actual site with pricing, photos and how to order instructions for both iris and daylilies.

http://www.interstellargarden.com

I really think that along with Kasperek, Burseen has some of the best names for his iris:)

think I'll look at that link instead of the catalog......for a few minutes anyway!

Malevil catalog arrived last night!

Does anyone know if Brad and Kathy Kasparek still grow and sell iris? I bougt some brokens in 2009 from Zebra Gardens. Love their flowers. We have tried to email them with no reply, and saw their website was closed for sales in 2010. ????

The rumor mill is not this year either both not in the greatest health
D

I'm not certain if Kasperaks are opening this year. They did not have an ad in the recent iris journal. I judged 2 flower shows last Sept at the Utah State Fair. Kathy was the chair. She said they are having health issues and didn't open last year because the state of Utah was thinking about taking some of their land [seedling beds] for highway improvement. I had hoped to see them at our recent Region Meeting but they weren't there. They have to travel quite a distance and it was snowing that day. I remember when they first started attending our Utah Iris Societies auctions when they were just catching the bug. They certainly made their mark. Think they have won all major awards except a Dykes

If not, schreiners has a selection of their plants.

Malevil website is up.....

http://www.malevil-iris.com/

Wild Iris Rows in TN is up, too...

www.wildirisrows.com

They have 2 prices for 'Radient Garb' The 40$ one sounds like the correct price for a 2010 intro.
