Michelle & Roxane will take a large size, but a paper bag will do as I hope they will come by and pick them up.
Large for you also?
I will mail out the medium boxes tomorrow and the large will go out Wednesday, gotta pick up some boxes.
I want the large one, of course.
Okey, thanks!
I would be interested in a small box if available?
I have had one of the irises bloom this year from last year.very! pretty!
Would a money order be ok.I will email you a photo of the iris for ID.
Thank You!
Here's what I've got to ship off today...
2 large boxes (spoken for)
6 medium (2 spoken for)
Postage is 9.85 for the medium.
Let me know so I can get this bunch out today so I can bring more home tonight.
Should I have you mail mine or just pick them up when we are there?
If you can fit them in your suitcase (I know how you pack!!) I'll just wait and give them to you here if that's ok.
weegy, you have dmail.
WIB,

By jove, I got it!
Ok, the last 4 are spoken for, no more until tomorrow.
Yep I can wait for them then and they will fit :o)
Hi weegy :-) A little birdie told me you were giving away Iris for postage.. I have some Iris, but I don't know the cultivar as I haven't seen them bloom yet. Just wondered if they were still available. Thanks, Mechelle
I hope I make the RU this month. If so, do you think you'll have any by then??
Randy
Yup!
weege, my irises just got here....thanks again.
Thanks for letting me know Sherry.
Can you put me down for a small box in the next round? Thank you!
I sure will Mechelle, I didn't mean to ignore you. I'll let you know when the next round is.
Thank you, Weegy, you unconventional girl. It's your birthday today, but I received a lovely gift from you in the mail instead of the other way around. The big box stuffed full of big, fat, healthy rhizomes has arrived and I'm so very, very grateful.
It's common for gardeners and Native Americans to give gifts on their "Special Days". : - )
Happy Birthday, weegy!

Happy Birthday!
Thank you gardening and Native American friends!
weegy, seriously, it's all Pop Erickson's fault. He started it all by handing me a bunch of bulbs on his b.day one year.. He thanked me for taking them off his hands, and over the years has given me many gifts from the garden. He always believed if you enjoyed them and had enough that sharing was a good thing. Glad to see the US Mail helps his tradition live on. (Even though it's not His bday today.) He had a gorgeous shade garden. So many exotic, and what I know now to be tropical plants. He and his wife, Pat were my surrogate parents and friends. They got me started growing more than food plants. I still have several of their gifts growing in my yard, despite the fact that one of them shouldn't have survived out here. (The Giant Bird of Paradise)
Makes their kids happy to see it thriving here.
They also taught me the concept of paying it forward.
You know weegy, you kind of remind me of their giving ways. LOL!
Are you having fun yet?
~Birthday Hugs~

Of course I'm having fun SW...Emma is here! Your surrogate parents taught you well.
Do you still want those chile's?
Is that bird of paradise the white one?
Glad you are having fun! That is what b.days are for! : - )
Yes, please I still want the chile peppers! : - )
Glad it's a sunshine Emma day!
No, the one they gave me is the giant bird of paradise. It's very tall, and kinda messy, probably should be separated, but I'm afraid to attempt it on my own. Does bloom when it is happy. It hasn't been happy since the hail storm last year. Finally recovered from the freezing temps and is hiding behind the sunflowers, so I haven't done much to it this year except water it. (It knows that I leave the sunflowers for the birds, but I might have to take this batch out because they fell flat.)
The white Bird of Paradise is barely hanging in there. I don't know if it will survive the heat and the coming winter, but it might take it a couple of years to get established. The regular Bird of Paradise I planted over a year ago didn't like the hail stoning and is finally putting on new growth. Eventually, they will take off.
On the other hand, the giant just grew like gang busters for something that wasn't supposed to grow here at all. The top leaves might get shredded or frozen but it comes back from the center, and thrives. Go figure.
I like to think of Pop and Pat Erickson sitting in their shade garden on their comfy chairs with their cats curled up with them, while they are reading a good book. They were great teachers when it came to the garden. The last time their son was here, he took a look around and said that I was inspiring him to start working in his yard again. : - )
What comes around goes around. He's a really good gardener when he puts his mind to it. : - )
Safe journey!
WIB!

Hi Weegy,
Thanks for the reverse birthday present. They were waiting for me when I got home last night. They look great! I wish it was Saturday already so I could be outside planting them instaed of going to work.
Happy Birthday.
