Bee was one of my favorite iris people. I'm not exactly sure at what point I
met her, but we lived in RI from 1971 to 1973 and I think my older two girls
were already involved in iris then. With encouragement from the adults they
wrote up the garden one year for the local bulletin, and then I think the
following year they wrote up the national convention in Philadelphia. (with
some assistance from me - they were in the 4th and 6th grades then)
We started going to the New England (?) meetings - the Warburtons had a big
picnic in the summer each years which was particularly memorable for the
fresh corn which her husband grew and cooked. I remember particularly her
SDB hybrids.
Don't know if I've got the subject line right - hope so
RosalieAnn in southern MD - don't know what zone.
