Sometimes the answer to this is a pooled order. If you plan to order or know
someone who does, invites friends, neighbors, and total strangers (be sure you
get a phone #) to be included on your order.

The year I was 14, I was invited to ride to church with a next door neighnor
that grew about everything you could imagine. One Sunday morning in late
April, I spotted an iris in her garden. I had no clue what it was, but Mrs.
Hawkins was quick to explain and invited me to dig some in the summer. The
house was a rental that belonged to my dad. After the couple moved on, I dug
many things left in the garden. But none had the effect on me that the bi-
tone blue iris did.
My irises will have high visibility this spring. I only hope they aren't to
stunted from the move to bloom.

a cross.
