Kelly, I'll do you a short article on the SLI 
tour here on April 23rd with pictures from all four
gardens.   Mine is going to be the first on the 
tour, so I will have time to take pictures at mine
and the others as well.

Subject: [iris] FW: AIS: January Bulletin

{I'm reposting this in case some missed it.  I've only received ONE
submission so far.  Come on folks, share your thoughts and photos!  If we
can't get at least a few to run here in January, we'll postpone the debut
until April when maybe more folks will be in a "springy" mood. ;) }



Hello fellow iris lovers!



Starting with the January 2010 issue of the Bulletin, you'll notice a few
changes.  First, I'll take over as editor full time.  Terry Aitken will
remain managing editor and resident sage advisor.  Second, we're changing
the format!  At the November board meeting the AIS higher-ups voted to
expand the size of the Bulletin to an 8.5 x 11 size publication.  Our focus
as an editorial team is to deliver you the best magazine for iris lovers
that we can come up with.  To do that, we'll need your help.



In light of that, I'm implementing a new section called "In Your Backyard".
Each issue you, your fellow AIS members, and I want to hear about what's
going on in your garden.  What varieties grew well this season?  What turned
out to be your favorite cultivar?  Did you grow a new species and have
tremendous success?  Did a few must-haves become must-composts?  Tell us
your garden news!  Consider this your invitation for the January 2010 issue.
I'm not sure how many we'll have room to publish (maybe 6-8 per issue), but
send away and we'll "bank" them.



Here's the redux:

1)      Send to kellydn@frontiernet.net your short (100-250 words) report
about what's growing on in your neighborhood (like that gardenesque humor?)

2)      Send along a photo of yourself or of your garden (must be
publishable quality, 300 dpi resolution, and a JPEG or TIFF)

3)      Have all kinds of fun with this and tell your iris friends who
aren't on iris-talk!  Let's see where this goes!



Thanks,

--Kelly
