Shipping irises to/from England


From: Duane Buell <dbuell@iname.com>

A friend in England and I have swapped some primroses back and forth
without any problems other than occasional slow mail. We decided to try
with some irises. 

I received the package he sent in less than a week. He still hasn't
received the package from me after about 3 weeks (via air mail).

The plants were bare root and clearly identified on the customs form.
Should I assume that irises simply won't pass British customs, or should I
assume they made their way to some agent's garden ;-). 

I'm curious if anyone else has dealt with this situation.

Thank,
Duane
