There is a piece re TB in Horticulture (May '99) there are pix
and correctly i.d. of Stepping Out, Thornbird , Mary Frances,
Silverado, Lady Friend, Dusky Challenger, etc. They also correctly
i.d. Brown Lasso and pointed out that it was a BB not a TB.
The iris borer (not our Kathy :) was also mentioned. The piece
was "adapted from the 'Magic of Irises' by Barbara Perry Lawton,
1998.
I was off the list for a while so please excuse this if it was
mentioned previously. Not a bad 2 pages for the new iris grower.
Back to the garden and back to planting glad corms and hollyhock
seeds. Not too cold today...one of the first nights where it didn't
dip below freezing. The exact low temp was 32.9 F on our digital
memory thermometer.
There is hope after all - summer will come to the North Country.
No daffs yet...still I. reticulata in full bloom. I. danfordiae
is going, going gone....
Cheers,
Ellen (have to buy that maple candy today - we sure don't need
any more wine - is there going to be a designated tee-
totaller in the group to help us find our rooms as we
stagger out into the night ?)
