My point was that somewhere in June in New England there were all types of
iris blooming. We saw everything from LA's, Siberian, Species and Tall
Bearded. And we didn't even get to Kathy Guests.

I also had to drive Terri through the White mountains of NH to an iris shop
in Meridith. If you havent't been there it's called the House of Iris. If
you go leave your checkbook at home! La Rue Boswell bought so much she had
to have it shipped home to CA by UPS.
