>I just joint this group and I would present myself.
>I'm 29 y.o. from Italy and I'm iris and irids collector but interested in all rare and unusual geophytes (especially for mediterranean climate).
>
>My job is farmer (fruit's productions) and I'm also very interested in wild flora of Italy. My first hobby is orchids growing, but I'm into irids with the same big passion. My favourite irid genus are Iris (especially eupogon, juno and oncos); Moraea (quite difficult to find species in commerce, I got only 13 species!) and other genus which are quite rare in commerce here in Europe (such as Ferraria, Geissorhiza, Hesperantha and much more).
>
>My first goal is in growing ex situ all the italian iris species to preserve and reproduce its; I'm in touch with some botanical institutions, enthusiasts and botanists to keep on a good information network and exchanges.
>Be a member of SIGNA will be very helpful for my knowledges (and hoping I'll be of some help for others too!).

>My best regards to everyone, and please be patient for my quite bad english.
