I remember that vividly.  And I was so sorry to see it die (especially when I 
was cranking up for a long yarn...).

But, let this be an opportunity to say once again what a crackerjack job John 
I Jones has done with this list.  As the saying goes...."I thought somebody 
ought to do something... then I remembered I was somebody".  JIJ stepped in 
there and I for one am forever grateful.

End of lovefest.

In the meantime.... I have just returned from a stupendous trip to England 
and Scotland.... London gardens and Scotland fun.  And when I get my act 
together, I will bore you all with tales of the Chelsea Garden Show (a dream 
that defies description... everyone MUST go!), and London area gardens and 
the irises therein.  And I'll also try to recreate a wonderful day in the 
driving rain at Wisley with a charming irisarian named Ray Jeffs.

Kathy Guest... who has a kazillion irises in bloom - if you part the grass 
and the weeds and squint, you can see them.
