I rec'd my 2 $30.00 bearded iris today, not what I expected. One of them had about a 1/2 inch grow on it, which looked dead and crusty, the other one had no growth, just a handfull of roots. I am still looking for the rhizome on it. I would think for that much money, they would both have some green on them. Will not be ordering again. User's recommendation: Check with other places to see what their iris look like prior to ordering.
