I've been learning life lessons on dealing with 8 and 9 year old iris lovers.
1. Hide all color iris catalogs...black and white are cool/safe.
2. NEVER take same to a local society iris sale. If you do, double your
planned budget. Avoid all iris with black in the description or you
will find them all in your bag.
Also be prepared to find things that were included because they had cool
names.
3. Set a price limit...no, you cannot have 25 new introductions this
year...ugh.
4. Picking the ones you really want does not mean marking 80% of the
catalog.
5. Learn to negotiate when they see you have ordered one they want and must
have.
6. Know all iris terms well...plicata, standards, falls, whatever...they
will ask 50 times even tho they already know.
On the flip side they know how to plant iris and are always ready to help :}
Marsha...trying to remember where the chain is so she can pull out the bush
out of the 8 yr olds bed so she can have more iris.
