PALTEC did very well in Kentucky. I did not bring any of it south
with me, because I didn't think it would survive the long hot summers here
in Florida. PALTEC is an interesting little plant. I would recommend it
for all growers in places where it will grow.
I would like to second the above opinion on "The World of Irises."
