Check out this co-op

Click on A-Z on left and you can find them easier.

Neomarica caerulea / Walking Iris
Full sun, light shade height: 5 ft. hardiness: 40° origin: Brazil
Tall gray-green iris like leaves. The 3-4" flowers are intense blue-purple with intricate markings in the center.

and the iris below I love the foliage on. The flower is very pretty but I like the uniqueness of foliage of copper-bronze and green



Libertia peregrinans / New Zealand Iris
Full sun, light shade height: 1 ft. hardiness: 15° origin: New Zealand
Little fans of strikingly colored foliage of copper-bronze and green. Makes an excellent container or rock garden plant.

Ilove - whats the A-Z thing? I'm not following. A little help needed here.

If you click on a-z, Then you can click on the first letter of the botanical name of each plant and it will take you to the page it is on.

I just reread that and confused myself.

Sorry,

Blessings,
Sandy

Really sorry.

No apologies Sandy, We're glad that you're here. And everyone slips a loop sometimes. It's just part of the fun. Be sure you come back. Do you have photos of your Iris?

I have the walking iris that is white and blue. The 3rd one down on this link [HYPERLINK@davesgarden.com], And I can't wait to get the blue one from the co-op.
I am also ordering the Libertia peregrinans / New Zealand Iris as I liked the odd foliage color.

I have a white iris, a purple and a light mauve one. A friend gave me these years ago with alot of others that have not bloomed yet. I should have superstition I got at walmart last year. I don't know the names of the ones she gave me. She was moving and I got what was left after her other friends. None of them must have been too old for they have not bloomed in 6 or 7 years. I don't know alot about them, except they are beautiful. I also have one that gets 5-6ft tall. and is yellow. I did alot of trading last year and aquired alot that haven't bloomed but the foliage is a blueish silver. I want to find out which are louisiana and,flag iris and so on. Just haven't got that far yet. And names don't mean much to me, I just love all the colors.

This is my first co-op to be organizer of. I was trying to get the word out and did not even say the 5 plants are from Plant Safari.

You said everyone slips a loop sometimes, well I haven't had a loop to slip. lol ;o)

This lists the 5 plants I chose as I want to keep it small. I can always do another one.

Thank you so much for the warm welcome. And I will be back to this forum.

Blessings,
Sandy ^8^

Just a reminder to look at the co-op.

I've browsed in the co-op information a bit, but my question is: isn't it an awful bother? Is the saving that much to go through all the extra work? I can understand if it were a local garden group distributing to local members, but re-shipping? I'm too impatient for all that!

We did a coop last year, not through DG. We saved about 40% on almost $1000 worth of iris. This meant that the exchange/shipping/customs etc was included in the cost. Very worth it for us.

Well on this one it may not seem like alot of savings, but you are getting a few things not easiely found.

All the other places I looked at on the internet wanted 12.00 each for the walking Iris (Blue)
I would guess it all depends if the co-op has anything you want.

I just bought from the one with cannas. The rhyzomes are huge and they were .27 cents and .57 cents each. You can't get a rhyzome that size here in a gallon pot and a samller one in a gallon pot is 3.00 and up. Also here you get the colors available and the choices on the co-op were out of this world.

I would recommend going to the co-op forum and just browsing a few. There are only about 2 open, but you can still see the prices one the ones that are closed and pictures of what was available.

Inada, That was great for Iris. Wow.
