interest in a bearded iris swap

THIS IS JUST TO GET AN IDEA IF PEOPLE WOULD BE INTERESTED

I'm wondering if there would be enough interest in a First Annual Iris Swap. There seems to be one for Daylily and Hosta, but I've never seen one for Bearded iris.

I know I try to start dividing my around the end of June and July. But I understand that up North it would be later.

Again, this is just to see if there would be enough interest. PLMK, I would love to host one.

LIFE IS GOOD,

Annie

    Alana, I want to thank you again. The "Blue Angel" is blooming its heart out.

    Also, I wanted to say any suggestions, and input is most welcome on the Rules for this Swap. I did fail to mention this would be for "Named Iris.

    Thanks again,
    Annie

    I would be interested, too - especially in historics, but any would find a happy home with me (or my parents, who love irises by never keep their name tags, LOL).

    I'd be interested, Annie!

    The secret hosta swaps work so well that I'm thinking following that format would be a good idea: maybe sending 3 named iris (more if you want) to the partner assigned by swap host by a certain date (July 15th?) and emailing the swap host the delivery confirmation # when mailed...

    Hi, I might be interested. I recently had people on the Iris forum help me name my iris for me. Now if I can remember which one is which in the yard, I will be okay.

    annie, based on the time, conditions and all the other stuff that goes along with a swap, i have some interest. i wouldn't be doing anything with mine until late july, beginning of august.

    have you decided on how this swap is going to work? how many we send, etc.? i'll wait to hear from you.

    thanks

    ARound the end of July I will post a First Annual Iris Swap then we can send out on or before the last of August.

    Like Marea mentioned, we can send at least 3 named, but more if you want.

    I can do this for unnamed iris, as long as you know the color, for those that have no named to play with.

    I have to run, time for me to go to work.

    Hello,

    I would love to join, if you have an un-named swap??? A lot of mine have names, but I have no idea what most of the names are...

    Thanks,

    Annie, I would be interested in the iris swap....MaryS

    I have idea! There are several of us who are interested (include me in this group) who have no named varieties, but would want to play.

    How's about you simply match us up with each other??? I don't mind trading no-names with another player who also has no-names. Then you don't have to run a separate swap...just match us up...unless you just don't want us to play *sniff*

    I totally understand if you would rather just keep it simple, though with named only.

    Just bumping this up, I was out in the iris today and pulled a
    few.

    Is everyone ready!

    What I will do is run one for Named and another for UNNAMED. Because, I sometime have a memory deficency and doing it this way will help me big time! :O) :O)
