Re: OT-BIO Janet

Welcome Janet,
Lovely to hear that someone else is also not only obsessed by irises, but
with the wonderful daffodil.I too love to grow these beauties and many are
at present poking their noses out of their beds, getting ready for spring.
Cyclamenius as just about to unfurl its petals and what a precious thing it
is...I just wish that we here in Australia had more chance of obtaining all
the wonderful daffs that we can see on the internet in other countries, its
a bit like forbidden fruit,,look but dont touch...Any how, welcome to
iris -talk, and dont be shy to contribute, everyone is very helpful and
friendly here:)
Regards fromWendy Sargeant, wendon@dcsi.net.au, Zone 8ish Victoria,
Australia...
