Searching for a few Moores' cultivars

14 years ago

Hello! I'm searching for a few of Mr. Moores' cultivars that I would like to add to my collection. I've checked the listings at Bluebird, BlueJ, C&T, Cooley's, Daylily Haven, Iris Sisters, Iris4U, Malevil, My Wild Iris Rows (TN), Napa Country, Nicholls, Prevost Ranch, Shadowood, Snowpeak, Superstition, Sutton's, The Iris Farm, and Wild Iris Rows (CA). I also looked through eBay listings and wrote to Rockytop. Does anyone know another grower that might have the following (or perhaps an individual gardener who is willing to sell or trade)?

Cloud Illusion (R2007)

Foggy Mist (listed in AIS database with no year)

Lemonade Springs (R2003)

Matrix of Art (R2004)

Moonlight and Wine (listed in AIS database with no year)

Purple Reprise (R2006)

Thanks so much for any help you can provide! Evey =)

Okay, I have some new info. Foggy Mist and Cloud Illusion were to be offered this season by Mr. Moores, but they have had way too much rain in Mississippi. Mr. Moores said the rhizomes will not be ready for sale this season. Moonlight and Wine hasn't been introduced yet. So, I will try to purchase these three directly from Mr. Moores next year. =)

I have found a grower with Purple Reprise, but now I'm looking for someone who lives in Denver, Colorado, that would be willing to take PayPal to pick it up for me. I'd also be willing to send you some named Louisiana iris cultivars as a thank you!!!

Lemonade Springs and Matrix of Art were carried by Superstition before, but are no longer being grown there. I can't find them anywhere else. Does anyone know someone who grows these?

I appreciate the input, Carlos. I had not heard of either of those growers before. I've already sent an email to Angel Iris Farm to place an order, but Newport's ordering is closed for the season. I'll try them again next year. Thanks for the heads up!
