Well Ive managed to find this at last Nancy. It takes so long to get some of the lovely American breds over here. Waited two years for Afternoon Delight and Afternoon In Rio, but still cant get All About Spring...I just sit and drool over the Irismart and Schreiner and Mid Western sites. I thought about ordering some direct, but they warned that lots of plants dont make it thru customs and as the min. order is $100, I decided it was too much of a risk.

The site I order from is www.trailsendiris.com . You may enjoy seeing their wonderful collection Tetrarch even if you cannot order here.

I will add it to my list...and keep a watch this side of the pond..they will get here eventually, even if they do cost a fortune! My Afternoon in Rio cost $25.50!
