Finally, a year when the overriding subject is not Hurricane Katrina.  Not that the extensive, deeply flooded areas of New Orleans have recovered - that is still a long ways off - but we are well along the path to a "new normal."  All the areas that people visit and that are distinctively "New Orleans" are fine.  People who have not seen the miles and miles of destroyed or gutted homes really can't envision the devastation that remains, but we are tired of talking about it.  And in the Metairie suburb where we live, things are close to their-pre-K state.

My stock still shows the effects of Katrina.  Not as much the loss of plants to the flooding but the loss of time to propagate and increase them.  And, since sales have increased every year, some things are in short supply.  I do anticipate enough stock to add quite a few plants to next year's listing, and I have a good number of new introductions coming, assuming good behavior.  Hopefully, there will be no mention of Katrina next year.

Price List

The prices of available irises are shown by each picture on the main page and a summary text list is also available. All prices are good for the 2008 season.

Orders

A downloadable order form is available from the catalog page.  Just print it and mail it. Or feel free to email your order. Payment should be by check or money order.

Orders for the 2008 season will be accepted until September 1.  After that I can fill orders only on a very limited basis.   Take a look at the explanation of the reasons of this policy at the top of the catalog page.  Please email me about orders after September 1 or if you have questions.

Substitutes and Extras

Please indicate if you will accept substitutes for plants unavailable.  As a relatively new operation, it is difficult to predict demand, so an early order would be a good idea.  I will attempt to substitute from suggestions and will provide plants of equal or greater value.  Extras will be sent unless you specify otherwise.  If there is something you already have or don't want, indicate that also.

Quality

I will only send plants in good condition and of a size representative of the cultivar under good growing conditions in South Louisiana.

Shipping

Plants will be shipped Priority U. S. Mail unless another method is requested.  Please indicate the approximate date you would like shipping to occur.

Shipping charges are:

$7 and $ .30 for each plant over 10

Free shipping on orders over $150
