Gee, maybe if I had received any current year intros. at any time
that I have been ordering irises, I might take a second look at
the 'extras' question. Especially when I ordered 6 intros. (all
medians) from a well-known supplier this year and received only two
older cultivars as freebies and this was not a grower that I
requested to hold back on the extras.
Also, a friend and I both ordered from another supplier and my
order included a '98 intro. that I paid for and she got it as
an extra. I got two older extras and it was a substantial order.
My friend's order was $15.00. Again, this was not one of the
suppliers that I asked to hold back on the extras.
Mystified,
Ellen
