I agree. It shows that Earth can be viewed as a single planet, and not
just as a bunch of nations. I hope that the celebrations will help us
all cherish both what we share with others, and what makes us unique.
As I look out on Returning Rose, Frappée, Mesmerizer, and Iris
unguicularis in bloom, I hope that the last year of the current
millennium (or is it the first year of the next—I get so confused ;-)
brings beautiful bloom, and love, and happiness to all.
And a special note to Dennis: I promise to increase the number of non-TB
iris I grow. Especially arils and arilbreds. Although I responded
negatively/harshly/whatever to your posting a while ago, I do realize
that the basic point was and is valid. Too many of us judges do not live
up to our responsibility to grow as wide a variety of iris as possible.
Thank you for reminding me.
Gerry, glad that only 2 regions remain to be heard from in the Symposium
balloting, and wanting folks to know that there will be few if any
surprises
