Dear Graham:

I have had a look at your web site - seems you are well launched and it
will be of interest to follow developments as you add enhancements. Reading
the text brought several thoughts to mind:
	1) Is there no proper plural of "Geranium" in BritSpeak?

	2) I see your postal address is referenced to Bognor Regis. That jogs the
memory in the direction of recalling that his late Majesty, King George V,
was reported to have expressed a decided opinion anent said spa. Perhaps
the royal bon mot could be registered as an iris name in line with recent
discussion on these pages.

	3) You indicate that your peak iris bloom occurs at the end of May and the
beginning of June. That is virtually coincident with peak bloom here, but
you are in (USDA) "Zone 7b,nearly 8", and I am in Zone 4. I believe that
early spring flowers bloom much sooner in southern England than they do
here; I know my Lenten Roses (Helleborus orientalis) don't start blooming
until after Easter (unless it is very late). What factors would retard the
iris bloom season, relatively speaking?
