Rosalie,
     This reminded me of one day in the early 1980's, before I was aware 
there were Iris clubs, I had the radio on in the car as they were giving public 
service announcments.  They told all about the Saint Patrick's Day Parade being 
sponsored by the Bluegrass Iris Society.  A short time later, the announcer 
said he had messed up after getting some calls, and that the Parade was being 
sponsored by the Bluegrass Irish Society, but that there really is a Bluegrass 
Iris Society.
