Monty Byers, who typically bubbled over with enthusiasm like an uncorked
bottle of Champagne about anything to do with iris, was originally quite
uncharacteristically restrained about THORNBIRD. In his final catalog he
said, "One never knows - I'd considered this one of my lesser intros,
almost didn't even introduce it", but then goes on to add, "Boy have I ever
perceived this in a different light since our Spring Regional in Sacramento
in '89! "
He was his typical enthusiastic self about CONJURATION, and even made the
following prediction about it, "This mesmerizer is headed straight for the
stars!"
Perhaps you can read a hidden meaning into that prophecy?
