	Thanks, Celia, for another light on potting.  Yes, I can even get
DUSKY CHALLENGER into a four inch pot.  Everything that Superstition and
Sutton sent, and everyone knows how large those macho megahunks can get
went into these pots too.

	An unexpected reward from potting that one doesn't consider in the
hot weather is the fact that potted irises are less likely to heave during
the freeze/thaw cycles of winter.

	And, now, on to the moisture content in those West Coast
rhizomes.........did it come from there or is it sweat when those boxes
hit the humid South and East?  Are we perpetuating an old wives tale our
foreirisfathers taught us by drying them out for weeks?
