WANTED: Purple bearded iris in trade for blackberry lily

Carol Thomas Vaughn

I'm looking for a pretty purple bearded iris. In exchange I have Blackberry Lily. They are FAST spreaders! The multiply by dividing, and have seed pods that split open to reveal small black "berry" seeds. If you don't want them to take over, be sure to snip off the seed pods before they open!

I have an heirloom deep purple and a midnight purple from Wallyworld. I'm not sure I want to trade, I don't have a lot of yard to cover with the lily, but if you want either (or especially the midnight purple) I'd be willing to share.

I remember replying to this, but I don't see it! Thank you so much for your offer. I had a few other trades so I think I have plenty of purple irises now. I certainly appreciate the offer though, and from a fellow Aggie it seems! Whoop! Class of '93.
