Re: JIs & SIBs

There has not been much JI talk in my memory on the list but there is a
grower who is active (probably very busy shipping just now).

Their catalog offers a collection from which you can choose from over 300
listed JI - or you can ask them to choose for you.  I did this giving my
location and conditions.  I also added what sort of flower and colors I
thought I'd like  (my first order of JI).  The company Ensata, and it's
owners chose the cultivars for me and I received the order a few days ago.  

These plants were wet and green and packed perfectly.  They are each labelled
and  packed in a way that you can plant w/o cutting strings and wires and
fussing about.
Great when you are a spring hurry as we are in the northeast.  We seem to
have about 10 minutes from thaw to bloom.

This might be a good way to begin.   The nursery is:
                                      
                                          Ensata Gardens
                                          9823 E. Michigan Ave. 
                                          Galesburg, MI  49053

I think you can get the catalog by e-mail request - Ensata@aol.com

In my area you cannot buy named cultivars of Japanese iris, a few by color or
labelled "mixed" are all I have ever seen so a very good catalog supplier is
the way to go.

had one or two spring days or it may be just bad memory.
