Yes, i've noticed some of my mails take ages to
come back to me through the iris-photo forum
maybe it's because they have to come all the way
from Europe...! ( kidding)
Most of the time, it doesn't matter, but sometimes,
especially if i answer a question, it feel stupid to see it arrive 3 days
later, it kind of breaks the thythm of the conversation...!
But i won't complain, this tool is so fabulous, it
can have some little flaws from time to time!
The unopened messages are in darker black so it's
quite easy to spot them even if they appear among the already read
ones.
to fiddle with the colours, i use the program
Zoombrowser that came with the camera Canon.It's quite simple and
efficient.
Mostly for giving a bit of mauve to the iris that
always happen to be too blue, even with using the camera on artificial light
position.
Glad i could take off some of the
green.
If you want to send me your pictures off line, i
can try to do the same with them.
It would be amazing to do so with 10 000kms between
us...as i said, i still am in awe in front of this tool!
still raining a lot here, fear i'm going to have
some losses with rot it it keeps on like this.
but as i said before, it a way to make a
selection...
the ones from Oregon will surely have an advantage,
the Californians, we'll have to wait to know!
till late Jan,
Loïc

Loic, It is much better. Thank you. I have a terrible
time with all my show pictures. We use a local mall which seems to have
light which is on the green side. Then we use dark green tablecloths
everywhere. Somehow all my pictures seem to come out quite green.
Which program did you use? I have done some with PhotoShop but can
still have problems getting the color right.
By the way - I have no idea where emails go but I just got yours today
(23rd) and it is dated the 21st. My son rattles on about where something
is placed in the lineup of some sort and that something may go out in 45
seconds, 45 minutes, or ?? But 2-3 days??? Who knows. He
says it is then placed into my emails by the original date and that is why
things can suddenly appear back a page or so in the list. I have to
remember to check further back every day to pick up latecomers.
Thanks again,
Jan in Chatsworth

Great orange stripe on the fall.
I like it !
I tried to make the colour less green with the
computer.
Do you think it's better?

Yes, we seem to survive but I grew up near the beach and much prefer
the cooler climate and fog etc.
Interesting that you ordered the tallest ones you could find.
Many breeders are now working on creating shorter plants for the smaller
gardens of today. I am sending you a couple of pictures of Baby
Chick. It is supposed to be 28 to 35 inches tall. Most spurias
seem to be in the 38 to 50 inch range. I won the Spuria Section
award at our SFVIS show last spring (2006) with this iris.
It is 1 AM here and I am going to quit for the night. Have a
good day.

Hello Jan
I cannot believe people can survive in such
hot conditions...!
here, the dew lingers till midday, must
wear rubber shoes not to have soaked feets all morning...
(Just to bring you a bit of fresh
air...)
Now back to the subject:
i only have 16 spurias.
The first i planted didn't have a chance to
bloom, they have been moved so often....
Now the garden has found it's
definitive pattern, so the Spurias can finally settle.
I have been already rewarded by 4 that have
bloomed this year.
I just planted last month 3 that came from
Australia with Barry Blyth Bearded.
I ordered the tallests i
could:
Fly so high/ 65", Sidonie/ 60" and
Upon a harp/ 56"
I hope i can cross them and maybe get even
taller ones!
The garden is quite big and the earth
is so rich tall flowers are really welcome, to peak though the
mass of vegetation.
Haven't made any cross yet, have done so
much ( at least 1600, with the amazing result of 500 pods
ripening...)with the Bearded, i'm almost overdosed...
Even the ensada hardly tempted
me...
But i know when i see the extra tall
Spurias bloom, i won't resist long....
It might take several years, though, they
seem to need a long time to settle!
I will have time to recover from my pollen
hangover!
Will keep you posted !

Glad to have you join the Spuria fun, Loic. How many do you
grow in Holland?
I have 50 named cultivars (10 from 2004 to 2006 but none of those
have bloomed yet) and about 25 seedlings. Countess Zeppelin is
one of my favorites. It blooms and blooms.
Very happy to contribute to the Spuria
festival !
