Hi Dennis. I will certainly share a rhizome of American Maid if she's large enough to divide this year. If not -- next year for sure. Don't forget -- I already promised you a rhizome of Beverly Sills!
I would love to make a day-trip together to visit Marvin and see his Irises -- if he's willing. I don't *do* airplanes -- so the only hybridizer gardens I get to see are the ones I can drive to. I can only dream about the gardens on the west coast -- and enjoy them vicariously through photos.
You're welcome to visit my Iris gardens any time, Dennis. They aren't the professionally laid-out beds like yours are -- but the Irises are beautiful none-the-less. And some of them you'll recognize!!
