Re: REB: Dime Spot stalk

Actually, Griff, that's what I took Bill to be saying - that since he 
didn't show much, he wasn't terribly concerned about the difficulty of 
displaying the iris in a pipe and therefore he would prefer lower 
branching because he thought that looked better in the garden...

Though no doubt Bill will admit he does need a translator most of the 
time when talkin'... (jest kiddin', Bill, you know you've made me smile, 
too, many times)  ;-)
