Re: Iris availability in Canada

From: "Mark, Maureen" <MARKM@tc.gc.ca>

Shauna,

Where are you located?  There are a number of reputable sources.  The
largest source of TBs is McMillen's in South-western Ontario, but I
understand that they've gone wholesale, or have restricted their retail
business.  E-mail me privately and we can discuss options.

One good source is the Canadian Iris Society silent auction.  The bearded
iris list is mailed out to members in the Spring newsletter and winning bids
get their iris in August.
