In contrast to last year, this spring has been very slow in coming. The bulb iris were nearly three weeks late. .The late spring has made it a bit problematic in evaluating how all the plants have survived winter. I'm currently updating the website. In order to have a large variety of plants to offer for sale, many are grown in limited quanity. So I need to wait to see how everything is growing for this year before deciding what can be listed. It is always frustrating for you the customer, and me the seller, to offer something for sale, only to have it not available. Hence the delays in updating the offerings for this year.

If there is a cultivar you must have, let me know. I may have it or be able to let you know where it is available. Be aware that if it is special because of it's colour, that there are many iris with similar colours and patterns, and a substitute may be available that is more suitable for the Canadian climate.

I'll be running some experiments on iris biology along with researchers at University of Guelph. hopefully I'll be able to expand the website to include some of this information. Check back later in the year for updartes.
