Thee, third one down looks like 'Pass The Wine' May be wrong tho. They are all lovely! I even like most of the yellow ones *shock horror!*

I wish to complain. I was quite happy with my pale blue one and my purple one.(That is there botanical names)

Now seeing your pictures I WANT LOTS & LOTS of them.

I hope you are all ashamed of yourselves for showing me such lovely flowers.

Sorry Carole. Really sorry. Hide

Carole.... see the link to Impressive Irises... I spoke with Colleen yesterday and she told me the business is up for sale... you could take over all the stock and keep it going... then you'd have hundreds of different ones Wink

Sounds like a pretty sweet operation actually Cool

Id come and work for you Carole. You could pay me in Irises affraid

Can you eat irises?? Arent they poisonous? Hmm may have to reneg on that offer.

Yours are lovely,Cheryl, and yours, Val.

Simon, that Luxuriant Lothario is amazing. So many different colours. The purple falls with a maroon edge is very different.

I have an exceptionally large one called Jurassic Park that is a mustard
colour with purple falls, but not so vibrant colours as Lothario.

Yes... I might be able to order you one Abbi... I got an email from Barry Blythe the other day confirming he had sent me the 2008 catalogue to look at and will be sending the 2009 catalogue in a few weeks. I'm hoping to put an order in when it arrives. Sorry I won't have it to browse (drool) over when I see you on Sunday Smile

by Abbi on 11th September 2009, 9:42 pm

I'd love to order that one Simon.

Look forward to meeting you on Sunday. Very Happy

Found a pic of Jurassic Park last season.

Simon, how long does a patent on a Iris last ? How ridiculous really, when they multiply so quickly and you can't share them and as Ripley says you can't eat them.

by Carole on 11th September 2009, 11:13 pm

Val, You are not sorry at all or you wouldn't laugh.bad Val

Now Simon I cannot buy the Iris Nursery. Just think how long it would take David to drive to Mudgee each day to go to work

by Simon on 12th September 2009, 5:55 am

Carole... true... but... you could buy the stock and start distributing them from up there Wink

by Ripley on 12th September 2009, 12:32 pm

Luxuriant Lothario is a real beauty! Have to add that one to my wish list

by Carole on 12th September 2009, 8:24 pm

Simon, why would they sell me there stock and at what price, I know nothing about the plant really, I dont know how to market it, all I know is how to put it in the ground and then watch it flower and later divide it.
Dont they want to sell the nursery with all the infrastructure and everything else.

Lets not forget the PBR's on the plants.

by Simon on 13th September 2009, 9:37 pm

They tried to sell it to me and you know more about them than I do Wink
