I wanted to offer some irises to my CA friends. I'm going to be thinning my iris garden and totally revamping, reorganizing and just plain working the whole garden over. We need to replace water lines and just rework a few things...thinking of taking a year or 2 off of selling. Some of the irises are really clumped and I'll be digging quite a few. Some rhizomes are large, others are on the small side.
If you'd like a flat rate box stuffed with irises for postage, let me know. I'm going to offer 10 boxes for right now and then more later. I'll probably start next week on the first few rows and then will have more in the next few weeks. I don't want to throw any away.
They won't be marked but when they bloom, I might be able to help ID.
irises for postage
I resemble your CA friends offer. What about your friends from out of town ? Hummmmmmmmm........:O)
You betcha....pass the word!
Can you see my raised hand ? LOL
Even before I offered the irises!!!
You know too much about my addictions. LOL
How many boxes my AZ friend! I do know your addictions!!
Please, weegy, save me some! Can I use it as an excuse to come visit? I'll take any color, but already have the kind Kanita gave me, and some that one gardener left by the side of the road out here with a sign on them saying free! They disappeared really quick. My friend happened on the place and shared with me. I shared with Mom. These are a lighter purple than Kanita's. Been wanting to expand the iris garden.
LMK!

I think one box will go unnoticed by my hawkeyed husband. LOL
Gee, and I thought my DH was bad, Rodicap. Or maybe it's because he is only just learning to garden? Can't be a guy thing.
The hard part for me is digging them up and separating them. Luckily the iris garden is far away from the poplars so it mostly just getting the dirt wet enough to dig into.
I do have to watch that Chinaberry tree that volunteered to grow near my iris'. Prolific reseeder. Been pulling out a lot of sprouts from my iris garden. Which is easy to maintain and oh so beautiful!

Weege, I'll take a box..let me know what the postage is please and I'll send it off........I did get some from you last year, so if there's a lot of demand, I'll pass.....
I feel the same way, weege....taking some down time to re-group. We have a new market in town, but right now I'm not even interested. I'll wait until spring and see how it is doing and how I'm doing......if I weren't home watering yesterday and today, everything would be crispy critters...it's about 105 here today.
Ok, Sherry, gotcha down. 5 boxes left now!
I'm not quite in California but I would love to have a box. DH is finally installing the irrigation on the side yard so I have a whole new strip to plant!
You got it Katlian, you're close enough!!!
4 boxes left!
3 left.
My hand is raised too I count as Californian part time correct? :o)
LOL! 2 left.
I have a sister in RC and I lived in CA 49 years before moving to OR. I would love to give them to my sister. Maybe she can even pick them up!!
Well, Bea, have her come to the RU as your proxy! LOL
Hi! Weegy, if there is still anything left....please I would love to have it! This was my first season growing Irises and I am totally in love. PLMK....
Thanks!
Roberta
There's a box for you Roberta. Will get these out this week.
Weege, let us know what the postage is......
I sure will Sherry. I'm thinking about stuffing either the medium flat rate box which is 9.85 or the large flat rate which is 13.50. Postage keeps going up and up. Let me know which you prefer.

Oh I am thrilled! THANK YOU! I will be more than happy with a medium box... Please let us know how to send you the postage money...whatever is easier for you!
Wow, it sounded like so many more than five that I had given up. I'd love to have a box, Weegy, if there's still some space on your list. Thanks.
You are very welcome, thanks for taking them...I'd hate to throw them away. I have paypal if that's easiest. D-mail me if anyone wants the e-mail address.
Give me a few days to dig and wash and clean and hopefully I'll get them shipped by Thursday.
Did I miss anyone? (sorry if I missed you.) I thought I only had 1 box left but only 8 are accounted for. And also let me know if you want a large flat rate box or a medium flat rate box full.
There is Zuzu! Got you down.
Thanks a million, Weegy.
;-)
I would take a large box, weege........sending you a check made out to Hank's...'kay?
edited to add.....
certainly no hurry on receiving them.....

Did you forget me?? :o)
LOL, I sure did!!! LOL, my bad!! Gotcha Marie.
weedgy12....................Any left??? I'd be very happy with whatever you have, even if it's a small amount. I'd pay by paypal the postal expense, just say the word. Hope they are not all gone :( ?
Sylvia
Louise ..I do not see my name on the list for Roxane in RC per our e-mails yesterday??
I hadn't gotten to updating the list...did your sister Michelle want some too?
Dilllansnana, I'm only doing 11 boxes this week but will post in the next few weeks with some more. I thought by only doing 10 at a time would be best and not too confusing.
Watch this thread for another offer in the next few weeks. Sorry.
Michelle would love some too. They can be given to Roxane. Thanks
Ok!
