I'm out of this iris until 2013, unless you have something very special to trade.

I dont have either listed above but if you have no luck in finding them i found them available to order parrot gladiolus http://www.anniesannuals.com/plt_lst/lists/general/lst.gen.asp?prodid=2204 http://yhst-27104608415819.stores.yahoo.net/gladiolus-dalenii.html Iris ungulicularis http://www.anniesannuals.com/plt_lst/lists/general/lst.gen.asp?prodid=3479 http://www.plantdelights.com/Iris-unguicularis-Perennial-Winter-Blooming-Algerian-Iris/productinfo/923/ http://yhst-27104608415819.stores.yahoo.net/iris-unguicularis.html jen

If you still have any if this iris to trade please let me know. I have several reblooming Bearded Iris. The only one I know the name if is Autumn Circus, white with purple edges. Blooms at least twice a year and very vigorous. If interested I have a medium size Bearded heirloom, deep velvet purple, fragrant, that blooms about 4 times a year for me in the Los Angeles Westside area. Very vigorous. I also have multiple reblooming day lilies but don't know the names.

I try to disturb unguicularis as little as possible, and I wouldn't count on its being completely finished blooming right now, but it shouldn't cause any harm to remove only the foliage that's obviously dead. I'd just cut it off above the rhizome, leaving that intact unless it's necessary to move or divide the plant,and being careful not to harm the new leaf buds which will be formed at the base of the old stems now. Seems like a lot of tedious work, especially if your patch is on the large side. I like Felder Rushing's comment that "brown is also a color"!
