Hi,
My name is Sue Edgecombe, and I have just joined your mailing list. I
live in a small village called Michelago, approx 50km south of
Canberra in southeastern Australia. Our climate ranges from -12
degrees centigrade to 40+ degrees centigrade, so I am not entirely
sure which American climatic zone our area compares to.
My mother and grandmothers have always grown irises, so I guess it was
natural that I continue the tradition, and we have bought an old place
with a very run down garden and are slowly re landscaping in a cottage
garden style so irises fit in beautifully. I bought a mixed bag of
iris rhizomes from a supplier really cheaply, so I am waiting
impatiently until next October to see what I have planted.
The real motivation for joining your list is that a business associate
and I have been considering propagating bulb irises to sell the bulbs
(secondary to this is selling the cut flowers during the flowering
season). So I expect that we will be learning a lot from the list, and
asking many many questions in the next few months.
Cheers,
Suzanne Edgecombe
