Bill, Good for you! There are so many folks with great ideas who need to
get those ideas out. I have many, and plan to try to capitalize on some,
someday .
The beginning iriser, as you say, has little choice. I liked the book from
the Iris Society, but it was a little deep for the beginner. There are
those of us who will probably never hybridize, but want what's best for our
plants. My hat is off to Sharon and Rick and Brad and Clarence, etal who
take the time and PATIENCE ( I have zero, zip, nada, none ) to do the
wonderful things with new lines. We would be out of luck without them.
But we who wish to simply stick the rhizomes in the ground and have them
give us the lovely flower we worship... does lazy stick in your mind here?
Anyway,
THANKS for taking the time.
