Re: AIS: SHOW REPORT
From: "Mark, Maureen" <MARKM@tc.gc.ca>
Thanks Carryl for the report. I loved Owyhee Desert at the convention.
I'll be looking forward to the new colours. I'll bet that the very dark
ones will be popular.
I have often wondered about soil and colours. Is there an element that can
be added to make all colours richer? I wonder if the green would be true
green elsewhere. I had someone ask me for a green iris and I told him that
it was not possible. I'll have to hunt out that e-mail now and tell him to
wait a few years.
