  Hi all,

  I've just recently joined Iris Talk and have been lurking, learning 
  the list ropes, and reading archived messages for the past couple of 
  weeks.  

  I've been growing iris for over 25 years in various states where my 
  husband and I have lived which include Illinois, Michigan, Texas, 
  Maryland and most recently our current home, Wisconsin.  Each state 
  has presented its own set of problems but Wisconsin has been the best 
  so far with regard to growing iris, though not all varieties are 
  reliably hardy here in the northeast part of the state.  

  I have heavy red clay soil and spend a lot of my outdoor time 
  amending it with sand and compost to make it easier to work; the iris 
  seems to appreciate my efforts as I get abundant blooms every year. 
  My other outdoor gardening passion is daffodils and I currently grow 
  over 100 varieties.  My indoor gardens are filled with close to 1000 
  African violets and 120 orchid plants so I have my hands in dirt most 
  of the time, which is where they are the happiest.

  I'm looking forward to learning from all of you and appreciate the 
  opportunity to be part of Iris Talk's community.
