A good source of rebloomers is...
Friendship Gardens
Joan and Ken Roberts
2590 Wellworth Way
West Friendship, MD 21794
A catalog with good descriptions is $1.00
Another good supplier is...
Bridge In Time Iris Gdn
Betty Wilkerson
10116 Scottsville Rd.
Alvaton, KY 42122
Stamp for pricelist.
We have gone through some extremely hard times vis a vis reblooming
suppliers... I can recommend Joan and Betty, some other commercial gardens
specializing in rebloomers have not demonstrated what could be termed
'satisfactory service.'
Joan also carries space-age iris. Another reliable supplier is Oz Reyna his
garden is...
Enchanted Iris Garden
715 Central Canyon
Nampa, Idaho 83651
Catalog $1.00 (refundable)
If you can inport from Canada without difficulty, Chuck Chapman is good.
Chuck Chapman Iris
11 Harts Lane
Guelph, Ont, Canada
N1L 1B1
Catalog is $2.00 (Deductable) Chuck also does space-agers
Hope this helps
