In reading the above message and being the person who posted the
origanal OT message on night bloomers. I do agree the the owner of the
list dose have final say and I do appaolgize for thos offended but, as
the persen said manny of us grow more than just Irises, I do think that
other flowers should be alowed to be discussed on the list. I wish to
justifie my self in say that, there aren't manny places listed on the
net as a resorce for night blooming plants and I thought that since
manny of us are knowladgable in other types of plants and flowers, I
though some of you good people might be able to help me. I did not mean
to steep on anyone's key boards and after all, I did give everyone fair
warning that my message was off topic by adding the OT: pre-fix.
