hi Mr. Toad- Glad to see you found Hallson's! There's not alot of historic iris growers here, but lots of admirers. Hope my suggestions on 'that other forum' helped you. :)

That is always a problem. More irises on the wish list than space in the beds. I solved it by moving from a small city lot to a large country acreage. I'm not sure that was a good thing. now I have more irises than I can take care of and the weeds are driving me crazy. But I love all the wildlife (except th evil deer) and being away from the city traffic noise. :)
