We are approaching the end of our order season. Our cutoff date for ordering iris for 2022 delivery is Monday August 8th. We will continue shipping through August until all the orders are out. We would like to take this moment to thank everyone who has supported us this year, it is highly appreciated. The photo is a sneak peek of one of the 2023 TB intros and one that I know a lot of you have been waiting for. It is yet to be named so for now it is Thomas Johnson seedling number TJ335B.
