Wow, you both are going to have a lot of fun!!! Kinda makes me want to go crazy again this year...but no, I will be good, I will be good, I will be good...I suppose it depends on your definition of good! Rolling on the floor laughing Rolling on the floor laughing

Just off the top of my head Grapenut, Backdraft and Foreign Scandal are all growing really well for me!!!

I'm envious of you Jen, you got your orders in in time to get some of the ones at the top of my list that sold out! I'd love to find Best Friend, and Eye For Style!!! The other one I can't find is Mercy Marci. I guess I waited too long this year. Sad

Have you ordered from Rockytop before? The surprise package looks like a good deal.

I wanted Midnight Embers last year, and was going to make an order with some others to fill the box, but when it was sold out, I just didn't order any from them.

Go for it now. It was the highest bid 2 years ago. I am waiting for the catalog in order to get the plants for the club. Have to make the money available go different places.

John, I have not ordered from them before. It's my 1st with them. It's about 4 hours from my house so I figured they should do pretty well with my climate. He actually has a really nice catalog of newer moderns, And a lot I don't have or have seen before from other hybridizers. I thought the deal looked to good to pass up. I did one from superstition last year and was beyond pleased with the selection. Figured I would try his out since I don't have but maybe 4 Iris listed in the catalog. Getting an Iris I don't already have is pretty good!

Oh, brother! I haven't placed an order yet, but I looked here to find "the" favorite vendor. I see 10 different ones! I presume you all choose a vendor each year in order to save on shipping costs...am I right? How do you choose the vendor of the year???
