Re: OT: 2003 Region 6 Spring Tour

Original message worded poorly, sorry. These guest irises are in 
bloom today 5/23, eight days prior to the tour. There are 125 guest 
irises at the Detroit Zoo. Again sorry for the poorly worded original 
message.

the 'iris club of southeast Michigan' on the sign. Most of the 60 
participants on the tour will be from Michigan, some will be from 
other clubs. Its too late to get the signs redone, because the tour 
is a week from tomorrow, 5/31/2003.
