Ditto,
I just love iris and hybridizing. It's sooooooo exciting to see a maiden
bloom on one of your babies! Even if most of the children of crosses are
ugly, smelly and useless. Once in a while a diamond pops up out of the
dirt, this makes it all worth while. If I didn't love the flowers I would
be doing something else, digging season is not the most fun I have ever had!
