OT-BIO: Ann Pearce

Dear all,
          I thought I'd better introduce myself, before I sent e-mail to
anyone else on the list (2 already). Here goes...

        I am a 21-year old (birthday last week), living in Adelaide,
Australia, on a 17 acre property on the outskirts of the city.  I am pretty
new to irises and a new member of the AIS, and Reblooming section.  I am
also new to the internet (last week - no coincidence).  I found out about
Iris-L through Scott Aitken's article in the Apr 97 AIS bulletin (thanks
Scott), and joined last week. (I have been lurking since then - a popular
thing to do, judging by the BIOs file.)  
        Like most beginners, I have started with TB's and have 41 varieties
of them, 6 of which I have seen bloom so far.  As you can imagine, I'm
waiting impatiently for October which is spring here.
        Mum is mad about roses (no. 500+ and rising), so there are two
hybrizing nuts in the household. I tried a few TB crosses last spring, with
minimal success - I now find I was putting the pollen in the wrong place
(don't laugh, I'm new to this, remember, and didn't have the advantage of
internet access, then, which I do now). As a result of this mistake, what
seed I have probably won't germinate. Any information you can send me would
be much appreciated.
                                                       Ann Pearce

P.S. If I don't respond to e-mail for a few days, it'll be because I'm going
to Sydney tomorrow for a holiday.
