Wanted: softly colored irises for postage

terracotta Santa Barbara County, CA(Zone 9a) Jul 23, 2005

Hi, I have a sunny bed that could use some irises in soft yellow, pink, white (or any pastel color, really). My old-fashioned deep purple bearded irises are doing fine there, so I guess bearded irises are what I need. Sorry I don't have any plants to trade. I'll gladly pay postage, or would be willing to email you a list of seeds I'm willing to swap. Thanks for reading this!

I have some extra white TBs you may have. I don't grow that many truly "soft" colors--mostly bright ones. Do you only want TBs? I have some soft dwarfs & Internmediates.

Email your address to me & I'll see what I can do.

Wanda, Thank you so much! I have to admit I don't know what a TB is. Tall Bearded is my guess. Anyway, I would be thrilled with short, intermediate, supertall, whatever. I'll send you a DG mail with my addy. Thanks again!

Judy, all it means is that I grow more Iris than I ever need & HATE to throw good roots away! :) Besides, I consider myself a "garden enabler". With more big gardens around, I won't look as obsessed. Right?

Wanda we can all be obsessed together. LOL

I have some dry (and getting drier) Java Dove and Beauty Crown available.

I also have a soft pink, supposed to be Cherished Gift but checklist says it's to be a soft orange and mine is clearly pink. So is my supplier's. So still not 100% sure it's right.
