To be brutal, Janet, I never heard of them = as with most local nurseries,
so it is really not a reflection on anyhone. HOWEVER, your best bet for
ieises is NOT from a general nursery -- they are usually more expensive, ,ay
not be correctly named, and are older irises for what they cost . Don'y
forget, I am a HIPS supporter - I keep a few of the oldies that I love, BUT
I prefer to buy irises from the specialists. and know what I'm getting.
The biggest and best have international reputations: Schreiner's and
Cooley's. of Oregon . The 2Rebloomer specialists are: Bill Maryott's and
Sutton's Green Thumb of Calif., and Friendship Gardens of Gettysburg, PA and
she (Joan Roberts) gives you the States (and countries)_ and USDA zoness
where the rebloomers grow; and they sell other irises also. Joan's husband
Ken was the Editor of the Rebloomer CHECKLIST, which is available from
Charlie Brown of Texas If you want Siberians and Japanese, Carol Warmer of
Draycott Gardens of Upperco, , MD, All these gardens send out wonderful
representatives so you think Christmas has come again! To reiterate, I'm
devoted to my local nurseries -- but NOT for irises! Rosalie nr Baltimore
