If you have 3 open with 2 facing front and one tilted 
to the rear --- you GENTLY bend the one facing backwards and stick in a 
little napkin or kleenex to help it to remember it needs to turn the other 
way.  DON'T snap off the bud.  You must be gentle!

I didn't know you could do that with iris.   

If you have a stalk that has no good side, it shouldn't have been chosen to 
go to the show.  Don't enter it.   I will use flowers from these types in 
English Boxes. 

What is an English box?

Thankyou for the advice. Maybe I'll give showing a go it sounds like a fun day.
Wendy,
Zone 5 55 degrees yesterday and warm again today. Now if my driveway will just thaw out so I can get to the top of the hill.
