I have been enjoying the list as a new member for the last couple of
weeks. Thanks to all of you for very informative iris conversation! My
name is Amy Hill. I live in central Nebraska. I am an AIS member,
Region 21. I have raised mostly TBs due to the fact that there was a
commercial iris garden nearby that dealt with mostly TBs. From the
recent Aril discussion, sounds like I should give them a try!
I do need encouragement in one respect. Our local iris society met last
week for the first time in '97. Sad to say, our group is down to a very
struggling 9 members. We've lost several the last couple of years. Have
any of you in local societies faced this challenge? Any advise? The
group is hoping I will bring in the new blood. I am the youngest,
30-something and holding, but most of my non-iris friends don't have
time. We are trying to involve some local 4-H kids interested in
horticulture, but don't yet know if it will prove successful.
Anyway, this list helps boost my iris spirit!

where the garden is still quiet, but spring is evident overhead with the
beginning of the great Sandhill Crane migration...
