Bill, can you tell us about the night you sometimes spend helping a mare give
birth to her foal, and the emotion that overwhelms you on top of the tiredness
?

I would imagine that compared to the adrenaline that has been pumping through
your system then, the sweet shiver that gets down your spine when a new
seedling opens must seem a bit understated to call it fun?
So, it would be interesting to know what is it in hybridizing that still gets
you so excited?

Can you share this secret with us ?

Loic

  Hi Kathy,

  WELCOME, I think you'll find this group friendly and helpful.  I encourage
you to try your hand at hybridizing, nothing could be more fun (well,
almost).

  Bill

  Hello,

  This is my introduction to iris-digest.  I grew irises in Amarillo, TX for
  about 10 years and worked with the North Plains Iris Society; a fun and
  friendly group.  I moved to Santa Fe, NM about 4 years ago and had nowhere
to
  grow irises until last season.  So, I have about 50 new plants and am
eagerly
  awaiting May this year.  So far, it has been very difficult to get anything
to
  grow here. (High altitude, poor, high pH soil, cold dry winters and hot dry
  summers.) I've been with the Santa Fe Iris Society here and just got
elected
  (coerced) to be VP this year.  (In small groups everyone has to take a
turn.)
  I'm hoping to retire in the next couple of years and would very much like
to
  try some hybridizing.  I have been reading 'The World of Iris' and will
have
  many questions I'm sure.

  Well, I guess that's me.
  Kathy
