Is there a cost for the catalogs?

So does Tom send a different catalog than the Tempo Two one? Does that mean all the Tempo Twos may not be available?

Does the Australian growing season differ from ours? When do they dig irises?

They are opposite seasons from us since they are in the Southern hemisphere. It is late spring right now so they will dig soon. The 2015/2016 online catalogue says they take orders all year round, but the optimum time is December through late April. So I would think we should be able to order from them.

Mid America has its own catalog in March. they have just a few Blyth's as they have their own plants to sell. I understand that Thomas is being a shipping director for irises being imported into the US. Great of him to do so as it will be much work besides his own shipping.

Jan, somewhere in the fine print I saw that they ship to the U.S. twice, in February for mild winter areas and April cold zones.

So I am confused. Do you order from Tempo Two from their online catalog or order through MidAmerica? Who charges the shipping charges?

Jane, I'm pretty sure you order through Tempo Two, and they will explain the exchange rates and bill you for shipping. I think Mid America will just be receiving and re-shipping the orders.

I will give you more information when I receive my catalog from tom. He emailed me to tell me Barry got in contact with him and it's on the way. Should receive Friday.

As far as I know no charge for the catalog.

My understanding is that all us orders will be sent to tom at mid america, then he will ship them to us. Boxes from Australia will be boxed seperatly per order with address on them. Tom will just break the pallet of boxes down and ship out immediately.

Ok. So I got my catalog and al, the info.

Here it goes.

It's the whole normal tempo two catalog. I know someone asked. ("She " is sold out by the way)

You order from tempo two.

Mid America will charge shipping charges when it hits the United States. They will send you information and a link to pay. Credit card or pay pal.

The more people that order the cheaper the export costs. Then figure shipping will be $2.00 to $3.00 per rhizome.

When does Mid-American open for 2016 orders? My wishlist is getting obese and I don't see a diet in the near future.

Thanks guys. I guess I want to get it in early to beat the 'sold out'. All the pictures being posted here in the threads are killing my budget. But hey.......
