He he! I got a great deal once-- 75 cents for the last, dried up little
broken rhizome of Iris 'Ritz' from a hardware store bulb bin. Matter of
fact, it was marked as $1.99 but I talked the teller into giving it to me
for 75 cents, saying 'it looks dead.' Of course I knew better. Ritz is now
my wife's favorite SDB in my garden, and it is a rank grower and bloomer.
Moral: Don't overlook Walmart-style bargain bins...if you know what you are
getting.
