Greetings!
We want to thank all our friends for their generous orders
during the 2008 season. The iris and
daylilies made fabulous increase last
autumn. Therefore, the entire 2 ½ acre
garden must be transplanted this year when it cools down.
Thank you judges for voting Bering Lagoon the honorable mention award in 2008. We have seven new introductions for 2009.
Each introduction is distinctive and a worthy garden addition. We bloomed several lovely seedlings this year which will be
future introductions.
We are again hybridizing intermediate and
arilbred-median iris. These should bloom in April 2011 just prior
to the upcoming Oklahoma City Median muster.
This was a most interesting bloom season this year. The cold spring resulted in what could be
considered two peak bloom periods for us.
One the latter part of March, and another around April 20. several area gardens had four successive
weekend freezes during bloom season, but
we escaped that fate both at the home city garden and the large planting
in Mesquite, Texas.
Orders have been good despite the economic situation the
country has faced for the past two years.
If you want to purchase a surprise package of iris to be shipped in late
August, just send us some money in $50.00 increments plus $15.00 for postage
and we will send you a nice assortment of irises.
May each of you have a wonderful year.
Bonnie and Hooker Nichols
