Re: Emailing: NS 128 card 022


Great photo, Ken.

Having a couple different clumps of I. Hookerii in garden situations, I
always wondered how it was possible for this iris to survive in the wild
without being taken over by grasses and other vegetation. Now, I can 
see how this is possible.

Thanks,
