I hope these still might be available. I'm not an iris person, (so don't have any to trade) but I started a blue and yellow garden this year and iris are blue... Having grown in in Michigan, 'Great Lakes' appeals to me. :)

I have a dwarf crape myrtle that's a nice dark pink. It's 2' x 2' right now and shouldn't get much bigger.

I have no idea what is or isn't deer proof, but can offer some other sun things:

I have a ton of ornamental grasses, both really tall switch grass types and round-habited miscanthus type. I have nandina, Compacta, Domestica, and Dwarf Harbor types that have put out suckers. They'd be around 1' tall right now.

They don't seem to like Monarda, and I have red Jacob Cline, gorgeous magenta Raspberry Wine and Mahogany, and a light lavender that was supposed to be red. The latter is smaller, only having reached about 2' tall this year.

I have a gudzillion ditch lilies, several liriope varieties, etc.

Hope this helps!?
Thanks,
Christine
