Annie, I would love to join in on this swap! I love Irises!

Thanks,
Karen

Annie-Count me in again this year.

Shirley

Annie~ I'm going to have to sit this one out. Just much too much going on right now, so I'm having to drop a lot of things.
Hope ya'll have fun with this one!

Melissa

HI EVERYONE!

I've was working my long stretch and in between doing that I was doing my part time job also. Sorry I've been missing in action.

Galium, If you decide to join later feel free to do so.

DEBBIE, KAREN, and SHIRLEY WELCOME, nice to have you.

BUNNY, no problem, been there did that, and with me working the hours that I work it is hard for me to do much trading.

My iris are really putting on a show, and some that I waited a couple of years to bloom, are not what they are suppose to be. But that happens, I know I have some that are planted way too close together! So if someone gets an iris from me and it does not bloom true, just give me a yell and I promise to make it right. I welcome duplicates of what I have just in case this happens.

I have to check on my part time client this afternoon, but I hope everyone has a great but safe Memorial Day.

LIFE IS GOOD,
Annie

Count me in. I have some gorgeous blooming iris from the swap last year and have a lot of new ones. Can't wait!!!

Debbie, I don't think I have ever had the privilege to send to you, and I will be looking at you list of wants today!

LIFE IS GOOD,
Annie

If you will, will/can everyone update their want lists to give your partner an idea of what bearded iris you would like.

Thanks Annie! Sue sent me her address and I have sent mine to Marea.
I don't recall ever directly trading with either of them so this is especially fun!
Alana

Jo/juspeachy.........I need your address. I have sent you an email.

Got your address, Alana. Sorry to say will be sending later, have to earn the postage first. Glad I get an opportunity to send to you!
All the Iris you sent me last year in the 2nd annual swap bloomed so heavenly this Spring for me & brought me such joy!

Jo has my address & since I want just about all TB irises, it will be easy for her *grin*

Thanks, Annie!!

Karen-Looking forward to sending to you. Do you have any wants? I don't find anything on your page. I will also need your address.

Thanks

Shirley

Alana, I've mailed your box to you today, Delivery Confirmation # 0103 8555 7498 2355 3353.
Most of my iris are magenta or close to it, but I gathered some I think you'll like *grin*
Happy planting to you, Marea

Oh Marea! I think I must actually like magenta (but I will never like Cheetoh's color!!),LOL. My daughter was looking at my flowers the other day and asked me why I always say I don't like magenta when many of my favorite flowers are that color.
I had to admit she was right-I do have a lot of magenta flowers. So a couple of days ago I went back to my trade page and deleted the statement that I don't like magenta.

Whatever you sent will be wonderful, magenta or otherwise!

Jo has contacted me, so we are set and I will be sending hers out today or tomorrow. I too love this swap and will be looking forward to my 3rd next year!!!

Kay

Sassy-Thanks for letting me know. I will be on the lookout for it.

Annie-Thanks for hosting this years iris swap again.

Shirley

Hello ladies,

Sorry I've not been a very good host. I've been real busy with working both of my jobs, running to Greenbay/Wrightstown, Wisconsin to pick up Shelby's and DeAnna's two Boston terriers to babysit while they are celebrating the start of Shelby's 7th year being in remission on the beaches of Antigua. I love helping them out but I must admit driving to Ohare airport was no picnic. Thank god for the GPS system that a friend let me borrow. Needless to say I will be buying one very soon, and without it I would have never made it through Chicago or the Port of Milwaukee. On a second note, on my return trip I have figured out how to avoid the bigger cities when setting up the GPS. I can't imagine what the wireless world will bring us Ten years from now.

Marea, I'm sending an e-mail your way.

Debbie, remember what I told you about sending to me. YOU ARE NOT TO GO OVERBOARD! I will be working on your box just as soon as I get back from Green bay/Wrightstown on the 9th. This is my only day off and the two little devils are no help in the garden at all. All they do is whine, cry, bark and go from window to window while I'm out side. I can hear them fussing all the way out back with the windows open, and this drives me crazy.

I've had a great time looking up some of the iris everyone is getting and will have to list them on my want list.

Hello to everyone else! I hope you are having a great Sunday.

LIFE IS GOOD,
Annie

Hi Annie,

Aug. 9th or even later is fine with me. I still have a bunch of plants in pots that I need to get set out but I have to do something with the weeds first so I can make room for more plants.

E-mail me your paypal so I can get something sent to you so you can start shopping when you get the time.

Thanks for sponsoring this.

Debbie/budsnblooms

Debbie I sent you a reply on the e-mail you sent me. Let me know if you didn't get it. I know the feeling I can't tell you how many plants here need to go into the ground also.

Again, thanks everyone for joining.

LIFE IS GOOD,
Annie

Annie, I think I forgot to post on here the iris Karen sent me, all of which I did not have and I'm very thankful for them Karen. You're such a sweetheart:)

Pagan Goddess
Dorothy Lee
From A Distance
World Premier
Sultan's Palace
Pink Conffeti
and one more that I couldn't make out the name, hopefully Karen will remember, I couldn't make out the first word but the second looked like 'Skies'?

Also, I sent Shirley's iris in with her PP's box, and was in such a rush to get it shipped I didn't distinguish which went for which swap, but she got them and hopefully I sent ones she didn't already have.

Thanks for hosting the swap again this year. We always look forward to it:))

Sassy

Hi Sassy! It is 'Kelat Skies' You really didn't have any of these?? I'm so glad!! I read your list, but didn't know if it was a total list. I really can't find a picture of 'From a Distance' on google, but it is yellow top and purple falls. I hope they all bloom beautifully for you!

Karen

Thanks Karen! I'll go put the right marker on it. Nope, I didn't have a single one of them. lol Can't wait to see their blooms!

Sassy

Jo's are gone, I hope she gets them.....I know she was extremely busy. dropped me a quik note a couple of weeks ago.

kay

Hello ladies,

I know I've been missing in action. I've just been swamped with my two jobs and making a trip to see Shelby twice in 14 days.

I want to thank Debbie for the generous gift of letting me order some iris that I have been wanting. I will be ordering from Schreiner's in the next few days and I will post what I have ordered.

Debbie, I do apologize for not getting the iris out to you on the 15th. I'm off all this week except for helping my part time client. So, I will get your iris out to you this week. I've sent you an e-mail when you have time to check.

It is pouring down rain here, and I've got 3boxes of iris that need to get in the ground. :>( :>(

Again,I am so sorry for being gone so much this month.

LIFE IS GOOD,
Annie

Hello Everyone,

Kay,
I am sorry I didnt post about the lovely box I recieved from you.
I got a nasty comp virus, and it destroyed a lot on my comp.I tried and tried to get it to work, but couldnt. The comp tech I finally had to take it to said it has hit a lot of comp lately, all he has been doing is fixing them from it. Seems it is managing to get around most anitvirus programs. I have spent the last 2 days reloading all the programs, it is awful. =/

So, now that i am up and running again,

Kay sent me...
Sambuca
Batik (had this one,it died)
Good show
Gnus flash (love the broken color iris)
Cracken

Thank you so very much Kay, I love them all *smiles*

Marea,
The same reason I havent sent yours out. I dont have your address printed out, and it is lost because of the virus. Please, if you could e-mail it to me again, I will promise to print it out immedietly. lol

thanks,
hugs,
Jo
