Wow!  What a sight first thing in the morning!!

We don't have iris borer here in Australia because of our strict quarantine
laws and vigilant inspectors.

I am off to AQIS (Australian Quarantine Inspection Service) in a few minutes
to have some exports checked and will I be saying my prayers that we don't
have THAT scurge in the Land of Oz.

Does it attack La. iris too?

Cheers for now,
