I would be interested in any and all iris! That being said, my iris had a pathetic bloom year so this is not a dividing year for me. If there isn't enough interest in a swap this year but you are dividing your iris, please let me know if you have divisions to share and I will make a trip up that way. Don't ever throw away an rhizomes!

Tomatoz1, the Circus Stripes I got from you at last year's swap bloomed for me this year. Beautiful! Thanks again.

I'm not interested in trading, but I have some gorgeous purple ones to donate locally. Where are you located? I'm in Fort Collins, CO.

Hey Judy, Did you ever find these? I noticed some of the snake heads on the Brecks site, so not sure what kind of quality they'd be, but they only ship in the fall.

Thanks everyone for the compliments on the iris. I can't take any credit though, they came with the house. Let's hope that everyone gets what they want. And if they don't, next time I'll know better and mark the colors! Camber is Swiss, Michelle, but actually a Bernese Mountain Dog - closely related to the Swiss MD. Cnetter, I think you are so right. Yesterday afternoon I went out to harvest some of the seeds, only found a few pods dry enough to harvest, but there were hundreds more! It was very satisfying, and addicting though, popping those pods and seeing the hard, black seeds come rolling out.

added to the hill whoever goes planting the dirt is hard. you will bend garden fork. get pick ax, then do fork then hori-hori knife. and grab buckets to get water from that lake. it's bone dry more than pitchfork deep. I did not have buckets, hope for rain the way i did it should catch the rain, some of it, to do it proper the dirt is way too hard, it will need to be done in the spring, mini terracing on that hill then it will start catching the water

Margo nothing like those Grandbabies. I have one just 3 weeks old, she is so precious. My oldest is 32 and now this one 3 wks old. 2 Grandsons, 2 Great Grandsons and 2 Granddaughters. Life is good. My pkg should arrive tomorrow, the PO said two days. Sorry so late but I've been potting bulbs for market and all my orders were received at the same time. So many new plants in the catalogs but I promised myself no more plants to plant in the ground. Getting old and can't take care of all of them. Supposed to get really cold here tomorrow, Sat. and Sun. Some chances of snow flurries. Oh well it is January.

I don't have any to trade, but looking for some help for my small iris bed. Do you routinely fertilize to get big blooms like that? Mine have been blooming for about 10 years, but were really small this year. Thanks to garden swap for getting this bed started!

I don't fertilize mine at all, nor do I give them much water. They thrive on neglect.

One more thing, Ginny. I'm wondering if your iris might need to be divided.

Would that make them smaller blooms? How often do you divide?
Deb C

Yes, need for division would cause smaller blooms. They should be divided every 3-5 years.

Hi Ginny,

If you'd like I can email you and attach a copy of my "German Iris" Gardening With Skybird sheets! It'll tell you all you need to know about dividing and replanting them correctly so they'll start blooming well for you again!

I just signed into an OLD email account that I used to use when I had the swaps here at my house and I found an address for you--but it's olde! I don't know if you still use it! So--do you still use the: g ..... a @ gmail address? Let me know if that one will still work and I'll send it there, or if you use a different address now, PM me the current address and I'll send it there!

If it's been 10 years since you planted or last divided them, you definitely need to do it soon to start getting a good bloom!
