Comments regarding Hornbaker Gardens

The summer of 2007 I went with 3 friends to visit Hornbaker Garden's Iris bloom. They were beautiful, and I ordered 16 rhizomes from them. They arrived on schedule, but were very small, some having few roots. One did not survive, and one was misnamed, and not a variety I had ordered. It took two years for them to bloom (some have not bloomed yet), and when I e-mailed them, I was told in no uncertain terms, that they would not replace the dead plant, as their guarentee was good for 3 months following shipment. They did say that they would replace the missnamed plant, and they did. Since then I have ordered about 250 plants from other venders, and have seen the high quality of their plants, Most of which bloom the next summer! So I won't be buying their sub standard rhizomes.
