{Disarmed} Sources for Siberian Iris?


What companies have robin members found to be good sources for Siberian Iris?
 
So far, I've ordered (or will be ordering) from the following:
     Snowpeak Iris (generous divisions, good prices + very nice extras, very good packaging and probably the best customer service I've every seen anywhere)
     EZIris.com (extremely generous divisions, very good prices, not so good packaging, and I found borers in one of the clumps they sent - for a 26 fan clump sold for 3.99 I'll take the extra time to pick over each fan carefully, however)
     Ensata Gardens (very good selection, extremely good photos on website, but pricier than other places - can't comment on packaging or plants themselves yet, as just placed my first order)
     Miller's Manor Gardens (of old my first choice for siberians; just placed an order for fall delivery after finally getting a catalog from them; large divisions (often clumps), probably the lowest prices overall I've found yet, plus they give 50% extras on Siberians! Packaging OK. Customer service often very slow to respond to inquiries)
     Iris City Gardens (very nice website, good prices, can't comment on packaging or plants themselves, as just getting ready to place my first order)
     Tranquil Lake Nursery (nice website, very pricy plants; haven't ordered from here yet)
     Aitken's Salmon Creek Gardens (several small orders many years ago. Plants were OK, packaging OK, prices on lower end and still are according to info on their website)
     Boone Brier Farm (just found out about this company, contemplating placing an order)
     Homestead Farms (just found out about this company, contemplating placing an order)
  
All of the these have websites (although the one for Miller's Manor hasn't been updated since 2003). Are there any good companies offering Siberians that only sell through a print catalog?
 
Finally, does anyone know the scoop on Deer Creek Farm? A google search for Siberian Iris usually turns up Deer Creek being listed among the first few sites, but their website hasn't been updated for several years and e-mail sent to them does not get answered. It thus appears to me that their website is on automatic pilot.
 
Best Regards,
Arthur
