I always specify September shipping for bearded iris rhizomes, and never
move my bearded irises before the first cool weather (evidently due
tomorrow, by the way--I hope preceeded by some rain, but this now is rated
unlikely). Expecting a big order later this week from Schreiner's.
Reminds me that my first order form them was one of their beginner's
collections, back in 1956 or '57. It included such durables as WABASH,
AMIGO, GRAND CANYON, SABLE, WILLIAM SETCHELL and OLA KALA.
