Re: what's your favorite?

Filippo, that's fascinating information about Iris sicula!  And it's so 
exciting that it may be present in such a more widespread area.  It is 
delightful to have SIGNA members from overseas, like you, to teach us 
this kind of information.  I'm so glad you joined !

I was also glad to see you're interested in some North American 
natives... including my favorites, Iris fulva and Alophia veracruzana.  
In the beginning (10 years ago) I was only interested in the genus Iris, 
and I never looked at the section on Iridaceae in the SIGNA seed 
exchange.  In retrospect I missed some chances at getting some wonderful 
things!  I won't let that happen anymore!

As you already know, the Pacific Bulb Society has amazing offerings of 
iridaceae species in their exchange.  I often take advantage of those.  
I'm especially interested in the South American irids, that are so rare 
to find in commerce here in North America.  Since Ohio is so cold, I 
usually share my PBS treasures with friends in warmer climates... and 
that works out really well for all of us.  :-)

Thanks again,
Dennis in Ohio (where it's almost up to 32 deg F)
