Hello to All of You,
Thank you very much for the warm welcome both here and back channel. Quite
a response to a newcomer.
It would seem none of you have any sense of shame... in particular this
J.F. Hensler individual who comes right out and hooks me the first 24 hours
on the list with a new line of pursuit in species Iris.... sigh. Here we go
again.
Thank you Christy (?) and one & all.

them to a minimum so as not to offend the many. :)

Ensiberian (JI X Sib). Though only 3 have so far have shown 2n=26 out of 4
tested, there are over 30 giving indications of being hybrid and most are
fertile. A number of members should be really starting to play with them
this season and a mention may now and then creep into polite society.

with some in this group and you'll find more forms growing in more areas of
the country than you imagined. There are also separate lists that discuss
individual species.

and enough private pages to tour iris gardens to keep you busy for months.
