[SpaceAgeRobin] Offlist: re Australian imports

Hi Bill,
 
When you imported the Blyth intros, did you have to obtain an import permit?  I just wondered what paperwork was involved in importing from Australia into the U.S.  Any tips/advice would be welcomed.
 
Thanks (from a newbie),
 
Kathy

<Now Bill, don't keep us all wondering which irises you imported!!! >

Well the whats and whys are:
Tuscan Villa cause it was a yellow out of Louisa's Song and had a small white rim on the falls.

Rules of Love cause it was a strange color combo with red beards and good traits. Maybe I'll chase red with it. Regardless it fit here for some reason.

Decadence cause I'd not seen a prettier photo than the one posted to the iris photo list of any iris last year. Then that funny talkin' Southerner, Blyth, put all those seedling pictures from it in his catalog. Spect I'll be smearin' its pollen on everything that blooms at the same time.

Sweetly Sung cause it has Louisa's Song in it so will be crossed back to TV, LS, and to Secret Agenda.

Who's a Toff cause I did not know what a Toff  was and Power Woman needed a tuff mate with some red and umbrata? pattern.

Secret Agenda cause Blyth said it was a strange outcome from strong blues. Possible outcomes curiosity and that smooth talkin' Southerner took my dollars.

Dream Til Dawn cause it has edged standards and falls and Blyth said is was largely unexplored. It too is purported to have good traits. The boy has my number!

Cameo Dawn cause top and bottom of falls are different colors and seem to have perhaps strange pigment sources. Plus I love Barbara My Love from the first bloom and with each and every bloom I have ever seen. CD in a similar but sranger color family.

About Town cause (?) I just can't remember why. Maybe in the recesses of my often clouded mind I remembered something I wanted to do, forgot what it was, but figgered it aught to be here if I did recall. <laughin'> Maybe it was a Louisa's Song parent. That's where the breeders of fine fox hounds go back for great dogs.

As a point in passin', seems there's excess of fine fox hounds in England at the moment.

Friends ordered some of the same irises. One is potting rizomes and avoiding freezes, The other is planting in the ground, and I have mine bare root, under refrigeration at night, and in natural light in day.

Smiles,
Bill Burleson
