Hi, Walter,
It sounds as though you're thinking that it was a cut bloomstalk that
I'd sell. Of course the whole clump would be lifted, along with
increases, which I understood would already have been established.
HOWEVER, Denise Stewart e-mailed me that I had misunderstood her, and
it's potted irises she sells, potted in the greenhouse.
Makes much more sense, doesn't it? At this point, I think I'll just
take orders from people visiting the garden, to be lifted and
separated as per usual in July.
