Rusty,
My THORNBIRD often looked both ways described, based on the weather
conditions. Phil Williams is located in Tennessee, and sometimes can have
the same weather problems I had in Kentucky. I feel that he should have
been able to tell what the Iris is before he said that the Iris on the
bulletin was not THORNBIRD.
THORNBIRD is one of the plants I am trying here. If it lives to
bloom, I will let you know how it looks here.
