Early in November, I bid on a lot of French Lilacs from cassiechug (Robin's daughter). Told her I had it on my list to buy from Iris Sisters next year and wanted to make sure that if I was outbid on the auction it would still be available through the website. She checked, said yes, and, when I was outbid, Robin dug up a rhizome of French Lilacs and sent it as a bonus with the ones I did get. Best kind of surprise bonus.
