I just got CAJUN SUNRISE this spring and it's struggling for me. Perhaps
it didn't appreciate being dug at that time of the year. I have one
"mother rhizome" with a small fan attached right now. I just moved it to a
sunken kiddie pool bed and it seems to have perked up a bit.
Let's all drool together over STELLA PALISSOT (Taylor '94) and LUCY PAYENS
(Taylor '93) pictured in the centerfold of the July 1997 AIS Bulletin!!!!
(at least those of us who have received our bulletin). Does anyone know if
Graeme Grosvenor's new book has some similar stunning photos of Louisiana
irises?
At first glance at the ad for this book in the AIS Bulletin, I thought
"Just another iris book", but then I noticed that the photos of the two
above mentioned Louisianas were done by Graeme Grosvenor. Tell us Scott,
were these two LA iris pictures from his new book? Just curious.
