Hello Everyone:
Yesterday I spent most of the day at the annual rhizome sale of the Central
Arkansas Iris Society in Little Rock. And I am pleased to report that, for
the first time since I've been participating (about 8 years) we sold as
many or more beardless irises as bearded. Even more surprisingly, we sold
out of all the beardless (even unnamed Louisianas and Siberians)--and there
were bearded rhizomes left on the tables at the end of the day! For the
first time, we also had a goodly number of medians for sale...and people
seemed interested in them. I hope this is a "trend." Regardless, we sold
lots of rhizomes, signed up a number of new members for the local society,
and distributed hundreds of pages of literature on iris culture.
Tired and broke, but happy in Little Rock,
Tom Dillard
