Re: INFO: About Iris-L

Dear iris friends,

        It's very nice that there is an iris list, now, and I'm looking
forward to some pleasant conversations on it.

        I've been growing irises since I was a teenager in the 1960's when
I lived in Michigan near Grand Rapids.  I tried my hand at breeding irises
there including space-age irises, siberians, and spurias.  After moving away,
I didn't have a garden for some time.  I was a graduate student studying 
mathematics at the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelpha, and later a 
professor at Clark University in Worcester, Massachusetts, and I'm still 
here, but for a few years lived in an apartment in town.
        About nine years ago, my wife and I bought a new house in the
nearby town of Spencer on a nice but relatively shady lot.  Immediately
we planted irises of various kinds, but only the siberians and cristata
irises flourished.  A couple of years ago we squeezed some tall bearded
irises into the vegetable garden, the sunniest space we have, and they're
doing well.

        Last May, I started an iris web page at

http://aleph0.clarku.edu/~djoyce/iris/

If you have a web brouser, please check it out.  There are references to
other iris pages on the web and various other things.  Should you know of
anything I've missed, please let me know.

        Dave
