> 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)

> 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.
