YOU have control over any particluar hybridizers' plants that won't grow
for you--DON'T BUY ANY MORE OF THEM!! If you have better success with
one hybridizer's varieties over another hybridizer, buy their varieties.
FREE MARKET ECONOMICS!!
Another good checking point--see how many other iris catalogs that
variety is listed in. If it grows well, it will be in many catalogs.
If it doesn't--you won't find it in many places. Commercial growers
won't waste time with varieties that won't grow--I can vouch for that!

Central California foothills--more rain expected this week-end, but
light rain they say--that means get out the rain slickers!!
