I bought 80 rhizomes this year (not a small chunk of change, I assure you).
22 aril/arilbred
2 japanese
30 Louisianas
1 MDB
4 Spec-X
16 Spec (all beardless)
4 Spurias
1 TB
Less than 1% of my dollars went to TBs. You did not get any of my money
because you do not carry what I wanted. I bought from you in the past and
loved the service. However this year I wanted to expand into things other
than TBs, and had to take my business elsewhere. My money went to 13 other
nurseries that carried the things I wanted. Just something for you to
consider before drawing conclusions about what customers really want!
Again, I know I'm in the minority, but I'm certainly not the only one out
there buying non-TB irises.
