Looking for

Does anyone have or know of a reputable dealer that sells African Nights or Tequila Sunrise? I'd rather buy from one of you all than a dealer. I've been burned so many times with online orders it ain't even funny.

Thanks
Tina

I do know that 'African Nights' was being carried by Napa Country Iris last year and they told me that they would be deciding availability in June - but I'd get in touch with them now. It's a hard one to find.

Woodland Iris Garden has 'Tequila Sunrise'.

Also Bluebird haven

Riverview lists them both

The reports in the Watchdog are spotty regarding Riverview.

Leota's Iris garden lists them both as unavailable, so don't bother.

The scoop on Woodlands is all over the map

And there is no report of anyone buying from Bluebird haven.

Good luck!

Gee Doss how about some good news!!! ;)

How about, I'll check on 'African Nights' for you right now? I've been thinking of buying a couple of Napa's cultivars anyway.

Done

I wish I did Tina, I would send it to you. It looks lovely.

I know the feeling about ordering. I trade with local garden club folks mostly or buy at nurseries in my area.

Now where did the idea for 'African Nights' and 'Tequila Sunrise' come from? It's funny that they are two such hard to find Iris - or are they the only ones that have been hard to find?

Tina, our Iris Club sells many varieties. We have members in TN too. They dig from their private gardens as a fund raiser I can ask if they have these two. I am putting in an order for rebloomers.

Doss these were just two on my list that I haven't been able to find around here. Didn't know they were prizes!!

I think willow bend has Tequila Sunrise; I bought it from them last year.

I haven't heard from Napa yet. You're still on my mind.

Thank You Doss. Turtlelu....where did you get that name? I'm a turtle fanatic;)

Tina

Napa hasn't gotten back to me yet. You might want to call them and see what they say.

Thanks Doss
