Bill and Carol,
Read through to the end of this message. Looks like poor Lora's irises are
victims of those iris addicted, youth gangs. :)) I've actually debated
about planting irises near my mailbox for this very reason. I think that
strategically placed electric fencing should be the answer to Lora's
thieves. ;) Better yet, staple a note to the remaining plants inviting the
culprit to your next local AIS meeting or auction so that they can obtain
some free, or next to free, irises!
