Dana,
Thanks for the wonderful review. Although we are a small society, we
have some good people. It is a pleasure to be apart of the society.
I agree with you, Phil Williams was informative and entertaining. We
appreciate all the iris lovers who attended the convention. A big thank
you to Tom Burseen for the Texas-sized rhizomes he supplied for the
auction, of which many will be blooming in Lubbock next spring.
Hope to see you in Santa Fe next month.
