I have about 25 trades of between 3/5 fans each (some are more but they are smaller offshoots) of this iris. Probably Insipration I am not an iris expert. This plant is VERY prolific. I started out with 3 or 4 fans and this is what I ended up with after 2 years I split them now (totally the wrong time I know) because they just weren't working out where I had them.
If you want some and you are coming to the Mid Atlantic RU I can hold them until then!
I don't have alot on my wantlist but check it out-- tempt me -- I do however have enough iris, hosta, black eyed susan, lillies... I like houseplants and flowering plants but I don't have a greenhouse yet (Dear Santa, I have been a good girl this year.....) Also like scented plants (mints, geranuims)

CLOSED: CLOSED: Iris anyone?
What color is your iris?
Oooh, I want that one :) Would you be interested in chocolate mint or umbrella plant?
LMK!
Suzanne
MIss--- click the ink - pics are in that thread.
Suzanne -- I have chocalte mint and I have to change the pond plant request (someone emailed me last night with pond plants) Soooo.. my pond is full now.
What else ya got? ;-)
Heather
I would love some! I have tons of white yarrow, shasta daisies, as well as some unknown name day lilies, sweet autumn clematis, aztec lilies. Do you have a wish list? Also, I have a beautiful red bee balm that is about four feet tall.

I like the Aztec Lillies~ what color are the daylilies? I have "ditch"
lillies and some deep red ones.
Heather
Oooh, I need fast growing iris, and I only have yellow, blue, purple and black. So, how about....honeysuckle? sedum (several different)? Lamb's ear? I have a spare white day lilly. Apple mint? Spearmint? Irish moss, or perhaps a wee bit'o lemon thyme? I have this house plant ivy that I adore. The most low maintenance thing I have ever owned: hedera helix, ivy hermania. not exciting, lush green and easy, medium to low light, drought tolerant it seems. Perfect for my house, how about yours?

LOL!!! lemmie check the plants out Lulu! Oh man -- I want a black Iris! when you get enough to divide keep me in mind.
White daylily sounds nice, so does the apple mint - no ivy thanks _dh is sensative to anything that may cause rashes (I know it's not poison ivy--""Compounds in English ivy are somewhat toxic and include glycosides that cause vomiting, diarrhea, nervous conditions and dermatitis in sensitive individuals"" From a googled website)--- even my moonflower and morning glory -- DH can't touch.
If yu haven't mailed the other trade- just box it all up together-- I can get the iris out tomorrow.
Heather

Marclay -- the geraniums -- sun or shade? groundcover or no?
Oh, yes please, Heather! That's a beautiful flower! I am going to have to start digging around for other plants to give you! Our JW mints came today, so I can always use them to even up our plant swap, :-).
JIll--- I'll bring ya plenty to the RU! Havin troubles scammin more bamboo -- goin huntin this weekend... ;-)
Heather dear, I know I'm already getting seeds from you but um... those are *really* pretty iris!
What do you want from me? I have sedum acre, spearmint, ruellia brittoniana (mexican petunia - not winter hardy where you are, but will probably reseed), a ton or so of blue Stokesia... Bengal Tiger canna... sword fern (probably not winter hardy where you are)... Anything sound intrigueing at all?
Tracy
Bengal tiger --- SOLD!! Stokesia sounds good too.... LOL! I have some mexican petunia (can't wait for the blooms)...
So I will send your Iris and seed next week.... ;-)
Heather
Gonna close this temorarily ---- $$$ --- I WILL re-open after these trades are completed! SO if you didn't get in don't worry.
Marclay and MississippiSkie -- I have some set aside for you-- waitn to hear back.
Heather
The geraniums are for shady spots. Grow about a foot high . Shirley
Tracy- yours go out today
Janet yours go out today
Lulu -- Did I send iris to you you yet? my brain quit.
Marklay + Miss -- get back to me next week -- I am swamped wiht gettin ready for RU.
Heather
mystic: going out today, was supposed to be yesterday. Sorry. :(
I have some varigaited hosta, if you have any left
Nanners -- I will see if there is any left after the RU and the trades I have already made. I don;t care for hosta at all though -- we can try to work something out if I have any left.
Heather
Dstartz =-- got your box the other day! Thank you!
Killer-- Got your box today!!! Thank you!!!!! Great looking canna!!!!!
mystic - your box arrived today~ thanks much!!!
I'm guessing the stokesia looks dead? If it only looks 99% dead, plant it anyway - it does this "near death experience" thing when its moved, but it always has recovered for me. let me know if I need to send more, or if you want seeds for it.
Killer-- yup --looks dead -- but I'm patient (besides I figured it was mY fault LOL!!) I owe a couple boxes -- I didn't get them out because of the RU - I will post tomorrow--
LULU!!!!! I got your box RIGHT before we left (in fact I saw the mailman pull up on our block and I made DH wait until he came- and then I had to pot everything) YOU ARE THE BEST!!! Thank you soo much for the black Iris!!!! I will have yours out tomorrow for sure!
Thanks I will see what I can find.
Nanner - I am sorry -- it all flew at the RU....
It is ok, hope you made some good trades. Will have stuff in the fall to trade.
I'm glad all arrived safely. I actually had to do a little research on dividing iris! They are new to my beds this year. I know it was small, but it will grow. Mine was so stunning, 4 blooms/stem, over and over for like 1-2 weeks. I can't believe I missed my photo op. Please enjoy it. I wish I could have sent more.
Lu - do you know the name of your black iris?
Its "Before The Storm". It was so dark, it really looked black.
