Hi Gayla! I tried the link and its not working :( Just click on the round robin link on the top of the plant exchange and it will take you right to the Brighten Up Your Bed Named Iris Swap. So sorry about the link. Either its the GW or ME, lol! vina

FYI It's much cheaper to mail boxes that are not overly HEAVY (regardless of their size) simply by using regular priorty mail vs the flat rate box. Would make the venture more feasible to some? Is someone keeping a portion of that postage fee?

Evening All! It was the same here, Tuesday, Margo, overcast and windy but the wind wasn't bitterly cold, which was a welcome change. My mini daffs are starting to bloom! The crocuses are still going strong. And I too am still tired. Bummer! I was reading back thro the posts on this thread and way back at the beginning of this swap, I promised to keep the Robin's flight plan posted. You may have noticed, I haven't done that! So here it is, a little late, and I'll try my best to keep it updated! I sent to Peggy in Washington; Peggy sent it on to Heidi in Nebraska; Heidi mailed it on to Annie in California; Annie mailed it to Ruth in Texas; Ruth sent it flying to Melinda in Arkansas; Melinda just sent it to Diane/Moonfire; Diane sends it to Jeanne/sandlapper_rose in South Carolina; Jeanne sends it to Alana/poisondartfrog in Kentucky; Alana sends it to Robin in Virginia; Robin sends it to Vina/flowergirl134 in New York; Vina sends it to Janine/Jaynine in Connecticut; Janine sends it to Suzanne/hibiscusfan in Ohio; Suzanne sends it to Margo/smitties in Ohio; and Margo will send it to Katie in Mississippi, who will send the completed poem back to me! Hope I didn't skip anyone! Have a great day tomorrow! Shirley!

Hi Cheryl, I used to live in Georgetown, Texas where they had those white Irises you speak of in the older parts of town. They are Iris florentina, a historical species Iris, originally- and currently- grown for perfumery (they are fragrant) as well as to make orris root and homeopathic remedies. I love those! But I can't do a swap at this time because I am ill. Just wanted you to know what you had.
