Maybe it is just me, but I would never order again from a nursery
(big or small) that sent me moldy rhizomes. This is not a slam at
Schreiners since I have *never* ordered from them since I see no
need to when the smaller growers (isn't everyone smaller then the
big S.?) have what I want and their specials are just as good.
Actually better from what I could glean from Schreiner's and
Cooley's '97 catalogs which BTW cost $5 each but worth it to
see the pretty pix. :)
Cool again but the Japanese irises are loving it and blooming in
profusion. Lilies just started - lilium and daylilies. Hurry up...
Welcome David to *the* list,
