Hi Tracy I would love all 4 fans of your Iris versicolor (Northern Blue Flag - U.S. native) - 4 fans - a purple/blue water iris with some white and gold, 36" tall and very vigorous, blooms in early summer, full sun/part shade. I have a great variety of ferns that I would be more than willing to trade. Jean

Souf, I have no way to contact you, so I hope you see the above. Smokymist, thank you! They're not so happy right now, though. :-( They were doing great for months in the grow tent for winter, and then I was stupid enough to introduce a plant from a local nursery into the grow tent with them. BAD CHOICE. The nursery plant apparently had both spider mite and whitefly eggs. I soaped them all; the adult adenium got angry about the insecticidal soap and shattered. All those pretty leaves and flowers, PLOP. At least they're hardy, and growing shiny new leaves now. I can tell you, though, I was well PO'd at the nursery--and my own foolishness--for messing up my babies. Anyway, I certainly won't be sending out anything live until I'm sure the nasties are gone for months. And no more nursery shopping. I don't trust them any more.

I had submitted my tradelists, but they disappeared somehow. Probably my unreliable computer.
