I used to order from Schreiner's every fall. The kaleidoscope of colors is incredible. And iris are incredibly hardy tolerating temperatures below 0° and above 110° and months of drought.

When I saw your hilarious reply, irisblue, I gave a wide smile. Called my wife over to show her and she laughed out loud!
