Re: CROSSGATES IRIS SHOW-Gudrun!!!

Dorothy, responding to my cries of glee, said:

<<I don't know if Bravos are called for.  Due to the lack of snow cover this
winter, then the very cold spring, what was supposed to be a TB show
essentially turned into a median show. [...] This left the early-blooming,
apparently more weather-reistant old TBs in the limelight. [...]  All the
visible cold damage made me trek out to my garden this AM to see what  might
be available for the Southern Tier Iris Society show in Johnson City,  NY on
June 14.  My poll is quite disheartening.[...]   NOT a good year for bearded
irises in upstate NY. >>

Oh, rats. Unbravo, then. Sounds pretty demoralizing. But it also sounds like
people, especially Rima, found much to enjoy, and maybe the fact that the
"early blooming, apparently more weather -resistant old TBs" were "in the
limelight" says something interesting.

Sincerely hope things settle into normalcy for you people soon.
