Perfect. My order of a large number of Louisiana irises arrived within two days, partly because I'm one state away (California), but also because they shipped them quickly. The box seemed small when it arrived, but the plants were not squashed in at all. They were beautifully packaged. Each iris was wrapped around in paper that may have been coated to be partly waterproof. The wrapper has a small pocket that holds a nice, plastic nametag that looks as though it will last. Each iris was then slipped into a plastic sleeve. When they arrived, their roots were still moist and the leaves were perfect. I could not be more pleased. I was delighted to find these irises in so many different colors--great choices available.
