I'm sad to hear this offer is over. I responded on the 9th because I didn't see Indiana listed as receiving one, and I even wrote a thank you note to Larry in a thank you card, but I think my message was over-looked, but that's okay. I have plenty of iris. I hope Larry has an iris somewhere in Indiana. Thanks anyways for sharing his iris the way you did/have. J_and_C

I thought I would bring this thread back for people who have Larry's iris's to post pics of. Sadly, Larry passed away this past fall at the ripe old age of 86! DOUCETTE, Lawrence L.

Couple suggestions as I have benefited from going just about everywhere to look, price, analyze, etc. Of course there is Pacific Sales - however they seemed to be somewhat pricier - however, they have free financing for a year which is nice. Also, B&C Plumbing in Irvine - great showroom with just about everything. In Anaheim on State College blvd., (home of tile/granite row), there are many places with wood vanities, stores are all along the blvd. right next to one another. Look for the ones that list vanities on their windows - there are many of them. I think I have been to just about every single store looking at granite and stone, etc. Also there is a place called Faucets & Fixtures in Orange on Tustin Avenue. Great place to look at tubs, toilets, fixtures, vanities, and lots of bath set ups. Hope this was helpful as these are the places I went to. Many places I just discovered what I wanted and then purchased items where I could get the best deals which usually meant on-line for faucets and knobs and pulls. Good luck.

I grew Rue for several years and only one year did I have caterpillars on it. So I pitched it before I read that the fragrance is a natural animal repellent. Given that attribute I wish I had a whole row of rue. But beware: it is said that the sap can be quite allergic and to be careful not to touch it. Some say it can grow in light shade, mine was in half sun here in Ohio and never really turned in to a 'sub shrub', but rather a scraggly plant. Down in your neck of the woods it may need some shade.... I don't know a thing about Soursop except that it is found in tropical climates.
