You are welcome to my two recievers, it was my pleasure. This is my first year to divide Iris so next year should be better. Wanda I am enjoying my time with you in the mail box,although my head in box and big behind outside could be the reason the mail man isn't stopping.

Carol---What a sight we must be! Darn , I hope those new neighbors don't see me hiding in here. I wanted them to think I was sane at least for awhile.... All the neighbors see me weeding alot--maybe they think my backside IS my front side!
Still looking for those iris.....

Oh Boy! Oh Boy! Got 4 nice rhizomes from Kokopelli yesterday....only thing is I don't know what varieties they are! Hope she doesn't make me wait till they bloom - the suspense would kill me!

Thanks Kokopelli!

And thanks Pins - for doing all this - not an easy task I'm sure but we all really appreciate it. We'll think of you every time our new irises bloom!

Your very welcome M! I'm sure I put the colors on the leaves as suggested. There's a purple w/yellow, it has a delicate scent of lemon. That one is my personal favorite. I put in a beautiful dark purple. It actually has a name, but the person who gave them to me forgot it other than they were suppose to be some kind of black. And, I think I put in a lavendar or a white. The white would have a faint blue hue to it. I can post some pictures. I'll take a look in my pic files.

KoKo = I'm too dumb. I didn't look at the leaves....duh!!!!! Okay = sorry bout that.....

no problem here's a few pics

this iris is more purple that it looks. Don't know why it doesn't come out that way.

Carol, move out of the way--my box arrived!

OOH! Marlatt8--Belinda--Thank You!
She sent some simply wonderful iris for my garden:
Mother Earth
Painted Clouds
Michigan Pride
Radiant Apogee
Japanese Ensata Innocence + one surprise iris!

I've already got them int hte ground & spring can't come soon enough for me. Thank You, Thank You!

This thread brings smiles to my face. Thanks so much for posting. You are all so wonderful. I do have to confess that my irises will go out tomorrow. My son is going to a bible college in a week and I've been just taken up with his emergencies. Please forgive me for my delays.

hi wandaflowers, i am glad you liked your box. belinda

I am going home to watch my mail box, since yours came there is still hope for mine. I have enjoyed spending time with you in the box.happy planting. Carol

Hmm. Carol, move over so I can climb back in . I just remembered I have a box of unnamed--Maybe OLD ones coming???

Ooh! ooh! OOh! A big box from mgh just arrived--I can climb out of the mailbox now. good thing too, I need a bath something fierce!

She sent me purple & white Japanese iris (don't have any!) and some 2 tone purple iris for my beds. Can't wait to see them bloom next spring! Thank you, Mendy!

Wanda glad to hear you got the box! Hope you like them!

Edited to say:
There is a photo of the Jap Iris on page 2 of this forum. The subject is "Another Iris in need of identification"

Now that you're out of the mailbox can I take your spot?! :-)

Carol

Thanks Carol! You keep hearing moo?

I hear Moo when my daughter is home--IM 's coming in Moo. The kid has a Wierd sense of humor and i haven't the faintest idea where she got it. :)

No idea at all huh?! LOL! You always bring a smile to my face Wanda! :-D

Great it was you, cute, I was beginning to think someone was refering to my behind and calling me a cow, that or your mailbox was in a cow crossing. how is my new box mate enjoying her time in here ? Carol

Carol, just be glad it's a cow in there and not a bull!

Well it's kinda cramped in here and I have a lot to do! That devil's ivy is trying to take over my climbing rose again....UUHHGG!! I also need to make room for the things I ordered in the co-ops. I'm glad you're here with me though Carol! And I'm glad the mooing was explained...I thought you were talking about my behind! LOL!! :-D

And I thought that that Wanda was just hearing ME headed toward the community mailbox! lol
Oh well, can't say too mooch...I sent one of my boxes earlier this week, but one just went out today because the USPS didn't like the address I tried to put on it.
Who wants fresh deoderant?! lol
Wanda, I LOVE that pic!

yvonne

Hey--crawling back in the mailbox ... Does anyone have the REAL address of Lois in North Carolina? Her box came back today--USPS didn't like the address I put on it. Lois, are you stuck in this mailbox too???

Wanda, if Lois doesn't crawl out of that mailbox and give you the correct address,you can to send the box to a REAL address.... I can give you one here in SC! lol - just joking Lois!

I have some white irises but that's all. Are yall going to have another trade soon? I'd love to start some other colors. Sandy

Wanda, you' ve got mail R/T Lois....

OOOOOOPS. Sorry, I just saw these posts. Sent the mailing list to Yvonne and Carmen....

Thanks, y'all.

I'll take some of that deodrant, darn I am in both trades, was hoping for a box. Wanda who is the person who pats our behinds in the mornings ? lois looks like you got released from the box.I don't want to be the only one left in the box.

veeja--You get your butt patted? I'm jealous!

Carol, I'm still here! Just been kinda quiet. You been gettin' you behind patted? Not me!

Yep, I think it could be the cow herder trying to get me to move on or Wanda's DH, thinking I am Wanda. since she never comes in from the garden.
