The wonderful thing about Phila. is Longwood gardens in nearby Kenneth
Square. Peirre Dupont used his hands and mind to create a paradise
there. We hop onto the turnpike and risk our lives to make our annual
pilgrimage :)

Yes we wanted to move away but the population would fall below 20 and
kick Shelocta from Rand McNally listings.
Technology must be coming here, the big yellow trucks are planting trees
with no branches and hooking wires to the top of them.
Enough humor, there is little Iris presence here. Hard to find named or
breeding info. If garden centers sell TB's they are marked Rose or
Copper etc., these are the only markings on the labels.
