Re: you know ?

Happy iris time has arrived for you!! This E-mail came through just fine so whatever you are doing is working for me. I wonder if you or any one else getting this can tell me a source of Iris magnifica, the only Juno I had last for several years. The year it got away we had unseasonably warm Feb. and March, dropping down to -8 F on April 8--it was already up about a foot and did not survive. Another iris I''d like to find is one I called "Horinaka's red". I got it and a nice bright blue from Horinaka several years ago. Both were very nice, but especially the red and I think I lost them by by selling and sharing too many  and then planting the rest too close to my Black Walnut trees. If anyone happens to have gotten either of them from me or anyone else, I'd sure like to hear about it. I have Snowdrops and Trillium rivale poking up and ready to bloom.

Subject: [iris-species] you know ?

Hey all, the iris season has arrived in KC, 

there are already 4 junos and I. tigridia blooming. 
The wind is fierce today so they aren't looking 
their best. The English Iris I planted fall 2007 
have made it thru another winter. I got a couple 
varieties and need to get any others available. 
So much more reliable then Dutch Iris here. 
The Dutch come up in the fall and get winter 
killed, the English are much more reserved and 
wait until spring to emerge. Nothing blooming I 
haven't sent photos of to the group in past years 
yet. Last weekends weather was perfect even 
tho rain and clouds were forecast, and it was 15 
degrees warmer then forecast. All those satellites 
and computers don't seem to have improver weather 
predictions much.


Yes I'm hitting return a lot for people that can't 
seem read my posts.

Jim
