Thou shalt not covet thy neighbors iris, or your Aunt's irises, or the ones that your fellow society member happend to grab before you saw it.... ha ha!
Everytime I go to my Auntie's house to help her dig Irises, I want that one.. and that one.... (we try not to have the same irises, but then we also have different tastes)
And when I ask her if I can have a piece, she sighs and says... "I don't know if I'm going to dig that one this year or not..." ( But I want some! )
Sometimes I ask again later, and she'll say "Of course! You can have anyone you want!" ... must be the kind of mood she's in. This year I covered my bases and just ordered what I wanted.
'About Town' is the iris that I was coveting.. It's an older iris, but Oh SO ruffled!
I recently had a long-time friend and new iris lover come over and help me dig my irises. She was very happy that I was willing to share whatever I had. I could tell though... that she was thinking the same thing that I often think.... "gee... I'd like to have that one... I really want THAT one!" So I told her flat out... "I know what you're thinking, because I think the same thing everytime I'm out helping someone dig."
"If there's something you'd like to have, just say so." &;-)
