Re: iris DIGEST V1 #48

Re, Bay View Irises.
I grow many TB and other Irises in my Iris diplay garden, here in my have
and sometimes wet loimy Belgium soil there is no difference between the B
View Irises and the plants coming from other hybridizers.
For the members of the Flemish Plant Society '' IRIS ,, we started in 2001 a
Trophy voting .
The 2001 Winner !  World Premier
The 2002  Winner ! Next Millennium
The 2003 Winner ! Heaven
That means Two Bay View Irises in three years !
Greetings from Willy Hublau in cold wet Belgium

our garden from the city to the country.  We grow iris, daylilies, hostas,
roses and have a small collection of bonsai trees.  We also have a few
Charolais cattle, a Pembroke Welsh Corgi and a Himalayan cat.

my husband made some new beds so we will have room for new additions this
year.  In 2003 we made our first iris crosses and have seedlings growing in
the basement under lights.  Our main interest is Tall Bearded, but we also
have some IB and SDB.  We love the newest irises, but I also have an
interest in some of the older ones that I remember from my childhood in my
grandmother's garden.
