Re: [iris-tal Melb Flower Show

Dear Wendy, The title Flower Show took my attention because our Iris Chapter 
is putting on the iris show at our AIS National Convention in May in Region 
3, which is next to us - geographically speaking.  I was shocked at having to 
pay because our is free for just the show --- to enter or attend --- butg 
then I realized Melbourne's was a more specialized affair, like the big ones 
here, in philadelphia, Baltimore, Washington, etc which is another ball game 
entirely.
I hope you bought  /acquired FLASHING KOI  You'll love it - it is one of my 
favorites and it always wins a blue!  What others did you get? Unfortunately, 
I didn't get Blyth's catalog this year,   
Wish you could come to our Convention!  It will really be a nice one, I think 
- and I'm getting judges for the show  and since they will aready be at the 
convention we won't have to pay their expenses, which is a plus for us -- and 
I hope will be a good experience for them -- they are coming from the 4 
corners of the USA which will really be outstanding!  Region 3 in York,  
Pennsylvania  is putting it on This is  on the East Coast,  not too far from 
Philadelpia or Baltimore - however my garden will not be on tour this time - 
IT has been on other national tours, but I just don't have the energy and 
help anymore, altho there will be some who "know" the garden who will stop 
by, I am sure, either before or after. (There are 2 gardens in Maryland 
included in the tour, they are near the Pennsylvania border)   Rosalie nr 
Baltimore, USA  zone 7 where we are getting too much rain!  Rain yesterday, 
today, tomorrow, ad infinitum!  Just wait when we will complain of  a drought 
this summer!!!    ryfigge@aol.com
