I have been following this thread and reading all posts with
interest since I agree with the person (from Canada?) that climate
is the far more important factor in the regions than a specific
area meaning state or country boundaries.
I wish someone (the AIS Board ?) would change the Regions to reflect
reality. I like my Region but 85% of people in Region I have no more
in common with my climate than does Pennsylvania. I would MUCH rather
be in a region that includes Quebec, northern upstate NY, northern
Maine (we have that now but not really....no one attends the Maine
Iris Society meetings who lives north of Bangor). That makes only 1/3
of the state of Maine attending any kind of iris society function.
*I may be alone in this but I could care less where the RVP lives
or whether I even know him/her....I want to be in a region that
is primarily USDA Zones 3 and 4...yes, indeed. Maybe Canada will
adopt me since I live much closer to Canada than I do to
Massachusetts.
There are still some things to be thankful for in this world. :)
Grinning,
Ellen (born in Massachusetts and also went to college there - maybe
I have frostbite and am delirious....very cold here)
