ok i have plenty left bi and tri are you looking for something in paticular? also i noticed you do not have a trade list, plml, cath

I would love to trade for some of your bearded irises. I have pathos cuttings, geranium cuttings and plants, and several types of vegetable seeds. Please let me know if you're interested. I will have lots of hollyhock seeds later in the summer, after they bloom. My email is balletstef@att.net. I'm sorry, but I can't seem to change my email address on Gardenweb. Thanks, Stephenie

JI irises are the easiest to grow and they come more easily from seed than any irises I know. I love them and they grow well this far south. The drawbacks are: They bloom very late after the onset of heat in the South. Many blooms last only a day. Sometimes with the multifalled ones, in the humidity they get all tangled up and do not 'fall' or bloom properly. They soon exhaust the soil they are in and have to be moved to another area, not just replanted in the same spot unless you had another foot of soil to the bed. Otherwise, they are fantastic, and I continue to have a nice patch of them, knowing all of the problems I have to contend with. A good selling point: Many of the older varieties can pass for modern ones, so you don't have to spend a wad to get good looking varieties. Surprisingly, they can tolerate drought quite well. When you plant seed from modern cultivars, you will be surprised at the number of keepers you'll get, unlike most bearded. I try to get early bloom, three falled varieties. There are some three falled varieties that are so big, they look like they have six falls. Hatsu Kagami is a great parent for getting wide falls. Try your luck with Iris City Gardens near Nashville, TN. Walter Moores
