RE: AIS: Mike's Challenge

Anner,

I agree completely. That is why I said that we do not want our name on an
iris that has been sitting around for a long time in someone's hot garage or
in a box or bag in the sun. We do not take any iris to our iris sale that we
would not want to receive if we had paid for it from a reputable garden. 

This is the type of specimen that I think the children should receive so
they will have the greatest chance for success. After it blooms and they get
that first blue ribbon is when we have a chance of getting a new irisarian.
A treasure better than gold.

Oh, I say, don't give the little ones the boogery stuff no one wants, give  
them good stuff that you know is going to be a success for them, a strong  
grower, thrifty and forgiving, with a big clearly colored blossom, ideally
one 
which smells good, maybe like grape drink, or really fascinatingly  awful.
They 
like red caterpillerish beards and stiped hafts and things, too. 
 
Also, some kids like things that are small, like they are. 
 
Cordially,
