I know what you mean Gloria!  About 30 years ago I  ordered a 
WUNderful-sounding  plan from  ? can't think of the name right now, (having a 
senior moment!) - anyhow they didn;\'t come, and didn't come -- and we were 
leaving for Europe and I had to enlist my gardening neighbor to take over.  
The upshot was, the order came in driblets -- years later I was visiting the 
place (it has an outstanding catalog - oh - now I remember, it was Wayside 
Gardens)    Welll, I have a quick, proof-reader eye that works uninhibitally 
- if there is such a word - anyhow, it is not very controlled - and  in 
passing their desk, I saw a letter from Schreiner's - THEN  it pierced my 
feeble brain -- they did not raise all that marvelous catalog stuff --- they 
were  a "middle man"  sort of manufacturer's rep -- at least they showed good 
taste in contacting Schreiners  (I think that was also the first time we 
visited Schreiners and others in that area -- must have been driving around 
while visiting a daughter married into the wandering navy) .
So-never again, I too buy ordinary plants locally - and I'm not as particular 
about names as I am about irises' -- but you'll have fun ID-ing what you 
have.  Rosalie nr Baltimore  zone 7  ryfigge@aol.com
