I think inspection is the key. Check 'em out, check 'em out, & check 'em out. I've gotten iris from growers, walmart, plant swaps, iris shows, mail-order nurseries, garage sales, & my mother. Only once, years ago when I first started, have I had a problem (& I still think it was the weird weather that year rather than an infestation.) It never hurts to dip a new addition in a weak bleach solution & let it dry before planting. (and get all the iris you can from everyone everywhere) Best luck & have fun! sylvia

@colleenoz. I not too sure what you mean in your post, to be honest.... @ingeorgia. Yes, I'm happy with what I got for it. I sold it honestly, making it quite clear that I did not not its age or what it may have previously been used for.... What I meant was that I feel for the person who bought it, if they have bought it based on the potential mis-information of the seller. Cheers

Do you know that you can find promotional coupons for almost any store online by merely Googling the words "[store name] coupon" or ""[store name] promotion"? I discovered this last year when I wanted to see if the online catalog I was about to order from had a coupon I could use. So I googled it and found one from one of the MANY online coupon websites. Ever since then I've been retrieving coupon codes that same way. No longer do you have to wait for the store to send you a code or ask others if they have one, it's always there on the internet, all you have to do is go look for it. Won't be hard to find either. Some codes won't work so you may have to try several out but usually you can find at least one.

Hoosiergirl, I too can now say I'm the proud saver of 10% on four slipper chairs I just ordered from Overstock thanks to your discount code! Thank you so very much! I'm doing a happy dance. We've only lived here (tongue in cheek) seven years and I'm finally getting great furniture for the Ladies Parlor. I'll share pix when I get things all set up. Woo Hoo!
