Re: ARILBRED IRIS FOR COLD WEATHER AREA

Yes, please send me the address for Forest Ranch Gardens, Jim.

Thanks for all the great info, Lowell.  I truly do appreciate it.  
Arilbreds just seem to be calling my name, like the miniature bearded 
did many years ago.  :P

I already belong to AIS, DIS, MIS, and I'll be renewing my CIS 
shortly.  Because I live in Canada, I don't even get the free plants 
that are sometimes offered as bonuses when you join, even tho my 
garden is an official iris display garden for both DIS & MIS.  It's 
always that darn phyto.

I'd also like to collect more historics for a display garden in 
Manitoba.  I lost or left behind about 30 of them when I was forced 
to move in '99.  Too big a rush. ;(

And I'd like to test new irises, especially the dwarf and medians,  
for hardiness, but placing orders to sev different US suppliers, and 
having to pay the phyto for each, is rather off-putting to say the 
least.  If one place could supply all the irises I'd like to order, 
so I'd only need to pay for 1 phyto, that would help immensely!  I 
wonder if Chuck Chapman could bring them here for me?  hmmmm

Sorry for "talking" too long. :O  I'm just trying to do my part to 
get more people hooked on irises.  Before I recommend a variety, I 
like to know it's hardy here.
