Actually, Texas *is* Tunisia.  I was merely commenting that we
perceive the climate of zone 3 as very very cold, probably much
more so than it is... not that it's a wasteland or exile.  It's
a vastly different, polar :-) opposite from our climate.  I did
put a smiley after Siberia but I confess it was poorly formed
due to the parenthetical closing and lack of nose!

I'm not an AIS member.  I am very glad that this list is open
to all to discuss irises, and am extremely tolerant of AIS-related
postings which are "club business," though they do not directly
apply to me.  So I don't have an AIS bulletin to look up suppliers.

Thanks for the info.

OK, point taken... we'd just had a 'censorship' and 'careful editing'
discussion and I thought it was an example of deleting *too* much
information to be taken to private mail, when many might be interested.

Sorry if my tone was snippy.
