Lynn, thanks very much for the post from your dear friend. Please tell her
for me that it turned me off from getting involved with antique iris which
I guess was what it was meant to do! Pardon me for asking how to get
starts of iris I am not worthy to have. If I sound grouchy, it's because I
always hate to see someone throwing cold water over an enthusiastic
novice, even if it's only myself!
She needn't worry about being diplomatic--she wasn't.

You may tell the lady who is inquiring about starts of two unknowns up
there--Dr. Moody and Antique Flattie--- that they are not available. These
are rare irises and are basically being distributed in a very limited
fashion within HIPS at this time. I've been waiting five years for a piece
of Dr. Moody.
The problem with pictures on the webpage is that people who are otherwise
not very committed to the cause use them as a shopping catalog and start
expecting people to give them great rarities and it becomes diplomatically
difficult to tell them to go fall in love with something else a little
less obstruse.
