Re: Greetings and questions

Blue and Elana,

This group accepts photos as attachments.  Size your photo down to about
100K or less, save it as a jpg and attach it to a message to the group.
Should go through fine. If it was a wild growing iris tell us where you saw
it.  Also knowing where you garden will help with the advice.  In general
iris seeds can be planted in the garden or potted up in the fall and will
germinate in the spring.  Most respond to a cold period and some folks
prefer to presoak the in sever changes of water.  Like most seeds a cool,
dry storage is appropriate for irises.
