Very late getting updates done for this year.

A number of problems. Last fall when translating iris during a wet hot time in August , many plants were lost from soft rot. Every now and then ther is a problem lie this, but last year was bad. During winter there was a lot of heaving, which disturbed the newly planted iris,

Of those that have survived , many are showing very little in the way of increases . So offerings of TB iris will be very limited this year.

I'm discontinuing sales of beardless iris, which is mostly Siberian and Spuria Iris. The shipping of these cuts into time I have to do my regular moving of my iris. Part of what contributed to the problems over winter. . So by necessity, cut backs means something has to go.

No collections this year, and no bonus iris. Stock is just too limited.. So now discounts will be offered this year in lew of bonus iris,

I will still provide bonus iris with order, but will not be as generous this year.

Post office had rate increases last fall, and again this spring. So postal rates going up again this year
