The comment was made re sales of medians vs TB, this is in response to that. I checked my orders and it seems faily equal between TB & medians with perhaps more sales of medians. This hasn't always been the case. Originally there was more TB orders by far. Over the years I have been sending extras with orders of median iris, usually of a type not ordered by the customer and similar to what they order with TBs Eg: if they ordered a lot of pink TBs then I would send a pink SDB, a pink IB and a pink MTB as extras. As well I have been giving a lot of talks to garden clubs and I emphasis how to have bloom through the season with proper selection of different types. In my catalogue I present a lot of photos of SDB and this helps as well. In my catalogue I have listed about 900 TBs and about 900 medians of various types. The medians are listed first in the catalogue, so customers see these listings first. There are a number of places in Canada that offer TBs but only a few offering m!
edians and those usually with a restricted choice, usually of older varieties.
Most orders have a mix of TB and some medians, about 1/4 only medians and about 1/4 (or less) only TBs. The ones ordering only TB's are often new customers.
A lot of people send out only TBs as extras with their order. I feel that as customers get familar with newer medians, they get hooked. They need the exposure.
Also a lot of gaden visitors come to see the TBs and ther usually are a few medians in bloom and their attention is directed to them. Also the medians are close to the parking area and the TBs are farther away. It all helps.
