Hi Shauna,
I'm a fellow zone 3 person and iris addict, too! A great place I have found
for iris through mail order in Canada is Chuck Chapman Iris. I purchased
some from him this summer and am very satisfied with them.
The info to get a catalogue is:
Chuck Chapman Iris
Rural Route #1, 8790 WR 124
Guelph, ON N1H 6H7
Phone: 519-856-4424
Also, join the Canadian Iris Society. Check out their website at:
http://www.netcom.ca/~cris/CIS.html. There is lots of info for Canadian
iris growers there.
What part of the country are you located in? I garden (or try to) in
southwestern Manitoba and iris are one of my many garden passions (others
are daylilies, lilium and delphiniums).
Glad to see another zone 3er on the robin!
