Thanks for your comments, everyone. Debra, Thanks for your comment on my UFO seedling. That gives me a little more confidence to hang on to it at least one more year. Rita, Siloma Cinderella is one of the few DLs that give me re-bloom in this harsh climate. But only if we get lots of rain in Aug. and Sept. (which happened last year.) This year, well, only time will tell. Tom, Thanks for your comment on my "Greenthroat" I wouldn't mind seeing a whole clump of that one in a few years! Jean & Jan, Priscilla's Dream is one of my favorites, because of the 'geometric' patterned EZ. But she's not the best increaser, and not a real high bud count. Have to be patient with that one! Kathy, Judge Roy Bean was planted last year, and bloomed a short distance off the ground, with very small petals. I wasn't impressed until this year when it shot up to a height of about 40", and a bloom size of 9"! hosenemesis, Gee, maybe I should register that one (Greenthroat) in a few years! Thanks again, all, Julie

Laetitia, I am glad to hear you say that about ebay. It seems most iris people have a some what less than friendly view of ebay iris. I like you have had good results. You have to be careful and not get carried away. I have seen iris sell on ebay for more than Schreiner's prices. I have gotten some quality iris on ebay at great prices. Mostly I buy multi quantity lots because I have a lot space and this is where you can get the best price per rhizome when you add in the shipping. Ebay is like any other place, let the buyer beware.

My mom lives with me for the last 11 year's. When she has to be in the hospital for any reason I find it harder then when she's at home cause here in Texas the hospitals are so far from where I live and I get lost alot.. But you should try to rest.. I know it's easy for me to say.. My mom is going on 86 this year and also hard of hearing.. Her hearing is getting worse also.. She wears a hearing aid but I don't think it helps all that much anymore.. Hugs to you and your family..
