Re: OT-BIO: Jeff Walters

Welcome back, Jeff! Great to see you here again. We didn't get any of the
snow that the east got, and today's high was 65! Whew. But I got to plant
some spuria seeds today.

Hello, Everyone!

I am billing this as a Re-Introduction, as I was a member of this List and
its predeceesor, Iris-L, until about a year-and-a-half ago, when I adopted
the academic tradition of taking a sabbatical. Now, refreshed and renewed
(and with the benefit of an upgraded computer system), I feel ready to
re-engage with this always stimulating group.

I live and garden in Cache Valley in northern Utah, which is a very
favorable environment for growing all types of bearded irises (there has
even been a Dykes Medallist hybridized in this valley - DREAM LOVER by
Esther Tams). Spurias and Siberians also do well here, and I have
successfully raised a number of other beardless types from SIGNA seed.

I am a member of AIS and its local affiliate, the Logan Iris Society, and a
member and officer of HIPS (the Historical Iris Preservation Society), in
which I currently serve as Southwest Area Director and Commercial Sources
Chair.

Reviewing the recent Archives, I was very pleased to see many familiar names
appear, as well ones that are new to me with whom I hope to soon become
better acquainted.

Best wishes to one and all for a Happy New Year and the greatest year of
irising ever in 2005!

Where all the snow is high up in the mountains until tomorrow or maybe
Friday!
