iris supplier, can't remember name

20 years ago

HOW IS EVERYBODY OUT THERE? ALL BLOOMING AWAY OR ALL GONE? I HAVE YET TO START THE TB, REALLY LATE THIS YEAR IN CA. AND I AM IN THE MOUNTAINS SO EVEN LATER.

LAST FALL I READ ON G.W. OF A NORTHERN CALIF IRIS GARDEN IN THE MOUNTAINS OR FOOT HILLS THAT HAD A ZONE 4 GARDEN. THEY WERE FAIRLY NEW OR VERY NEW. I GUESS I DID NOT SAVE THE ADDRESS AND FULLY INTENDED TO ORDER FROM THEM SENSE OUR ZONES ARE SIMILER AND THEIR PRICES WERE VERY REASONABLE. DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY IDEA WHO THEY MIGHT BE?

THANK YOU FOR YOUR THOUGHTS ON THIS, I CAN'T EVEN RECONIZE THEM IN THE COMMERCIAL LIST AIS PUTS OUT, MAYBE THEY AREN'T THERE.

SIS LOOKING FORWARD TO HEARING FROM YOU ALL

    Perhaps Napa?

    Here is a link that might be useful: Napa

    Thank you for responding Mason, but it is not Napa. Any other suggestions?
    It seems to me that they are located up in the hills above Sacramento.
    I will let you know if I discover it.
    Thanks again Sis

    what elevation are that you are trying to match a n cal grower? i don't know any as high as shasta area, but if its new, i can see why. i do remember driving by one garden in the foothills in a town south of sac that escapes me, it had a casino, but don't they all now, and i think the name had moon/luna in it if that helps to jog your memory...

    Could it be Leota's Iris Garden
    or maybe Beautiful View Iris Garden or
    Fred Kerr

    Thank you for your responses. I don't know how I would get along and learn so much but for this forum.
    When I replyed to Mason it did jog a memory. I think the iris garden is in or around Shingle Springs CA. because it is near a glass supplier I use and commented at the time that they were in the same town.
    I called the Chamber of C. in Shingle Springs and she said their was a iris garden listed with them but they complained that their were too many visitors and stopped their connection with the Chamber. She could not remember their name.
    She had also called the County Pollic Pine Chamber in El Dorado and they said that the only one they knew of was weddingsnflowers.com I enjoyed looking that one up and they have 1500 varietys of iris, great pictures, but are not at this time taking online orders. I left a message to let me know when they would start filling orders again.
    But it is not the one I am looking for.
    Jain, I am in USDA zone 6 at 3700 ele. Sunset says 1 but no one here agrees with that. As a local nursery person says in the world of cold this is not cold.
    I will continue to check things out. The iris garden I am looking for may be in a town close to Shingle Springs. I am going to call my glass supplier this morning and see if anyone knows of it. I did find out that their lows are only 28 degrees where mine run in the teens in most years.
    I will keep in touch just in case someone would like to know also.

    Hi all, I am completeing my promise to let you know who I was looking for. Randy you are right, I was going thru last years recipts and Leota's address is Shingle Springs and of course we all know that they sold their business last year but still have a nice website up with good pictures.
    And it seems that weddingsnflowers.com is filling orders. Prices arn't published and it depends on how recent ect.
    Thank you all for your help in this quest.
