What would a fair price be for an iris flower? Retail or wholesale to a
florist shop?
I have often wondered about that. I know one fellow who sells a bouquet
of smaller type iris by the dozen - and he charges $4.50 each bouquet -
or at last check he did.
The large hybrid iris should certainly be worth more than that - wouldn't
you say?
