Re: OT-BIO Ruth Jalbert


Hi Ruth,
  I am the youngest iris talk member i do believe.  I
am 18.  I love irises and have been loving them for
about three years.  I have over 100 varieties now
doing many trades and recieving many as gifts.  What
irises do you have?  Favorites?  Look forward to
hearing from you.
