Re: Re:Iris in Tahiti

Hi Katy & All:

Thanks for the info.  I've already searched for Louisiana Iris
and have a supplier in mind that I think can export.  Some of the
new hybrids have a totally different and very appealing look.

That is a great lead for potential tropical blooming iris.  As
I've had some bloom a second year here in Tahiti, there must be
some out there.  I've just done a google check on Monty Byer's
rebloomers and I can see it won't be easy to find a supplier that
can export, i.e., provide a phytosanitary certificate.  Should
anyone know of such a supplier, their contact info would be most
appreciated.

BTW, Kathy, I lived in Tucson in 1957 for nearly a year up by the
Catalina Mountain (think that is what they were called) by the
Saguaro National Monument - most beautiful desert I've ever seen
with an incredible amount of live.

Happy Iris Growing To All

Dick Johnson, Tahiti
