Irisers,
I don't mean to flame anyone, but will you leave Teresa alone? This
is most certainly the pot calling the kettle black. I am sure everyone on
this list has taken something and "rescued" it before, be it an iris,
daffodil, or wildflower. It is all the same. I confess to it. I think the
first scolding was enough, maybe too much. Do not scold until you have
proven you are not being hypocritical. Sometimes people are like a pack of
vultures! Leave the poor woman alone! It is not that big of a deal!
