Old and yet new!

Although I've been "listening in" on the iris-list, and its predecessor, for a couple of years now, I've never sent an open message. I have replied to several individuals, but this is new to me. I hope it works.
 
My name is Betty Coyle and I own the Carlotta Iris Garden in Carlotta, California. Carlotta is located in the heart of redwood country in beautiful northern California, about 25 mile south-east of Eureka. Carlotta is best known as the center of controversy over the "Headwaters Forest", a grove of ancient redwoods recently acquired by the state and feds as a national preserve. Carlotta is located about 10 miles inland from the Pacific Ocean in the beautiful Van Duzen River valley.
 
I have discovered that redwoods are not the only things that grow well in Carlotta; iris also love the fertile soil and year-round mild climate. I currently have over 300 varieties and close to 1000 individual plants in my relatively small commercial garden. My garden is so small in fact that I often have conversations with individual plants! Although we do not at this time have a presence on the "web", we have produced our first catalog, which I'll be happy to send you upon request.
 
I love irises and I love sharing them. I would love to hear from you.

Ps: When my husband finishes(ha ha!) remodeling our 1870s era farmhouse, maybe he'll have time to help me put together a web site. Any suggestions in this area will be sincerely appreciated.
