As these are from our Society I guess I should reply... copy both to the list
and to Sharron directly. I don't want anyone to get the wrong impression here.
The Silent Auction idea was born to provide an opportunity for our Society
members that lived too far from our regular auction to obtain society
acquisition irises. Sorry that they took so long to reach you but we did do our
best...
These are all bearded iris. (I'm sure, as I have the list)
Just plant them ASAP in the garden, in good soil, in full sun, water them until
established (possibly two weeks or so) and they should be just fine. After this
you should start to see some signs of new fan growth.
Thankyou for participating in the CIS Silent Auction... hope you will again next
year.
Chris.
