What is the best way to send irises? Newspaper-wet or dry?
Ziploc?
Please let me know.
Thanks

potof gold, I always just wrap them in dry newspaper.It doesn't hurt them to dry out a bit.

Dee is right, just dry is fine- use Priority Mail, get the free boxes at the Post Office. Many people write the name of the iris right on a leaf!
