So Tom,
>From you staind point as owner of Iris-l, was I in the wrong by writting
the OT message re:night bloomers, after all, I did use the OT tage and
suddnely I and a few others were getting flamed and as of yet I can't
realy see were I was brought in on it othere that I origanaly posted the
OT on night bloomers and I also in a reply commeted that I lived close
to the state line and asked how the weather was in Maryland, after all
is weather conditions not part of the growing of any gardens?
