Chris--My sympathies are with you. Especially now that I've finally been
able to check my irises a bit, and see that we have something in common! At
least I did not lose all of my Schreiner shipment, but losing 3 out of 7
isn't so good. I have never noticed more outright loss with their stuff than
with other folks' before, but I do see it this year. I too lost FEATURE
ATTRACTION, along with SWEETER THAN WINE and VIGILANTE. All the blues I
ordered are O.K.
Have you written them yet, or had any of the corpses analyzed? Any info. you
can pass along would be welcome.
