Hello. Im Debbie and wanted to say Hello to everyone! I live in Oklahoma, where irises grow quite well! This time of year my city and state are covered with lovely irises of all colors and kinds.
I have a major love for irises and love to grow them and really enjoy them! I spend many hours sitting in the middle of them breathing in their pretty fragrances, as silly as that might sound. I also collect Iris things like silk flowers, vases, miniatures and paintings.
Im looking forward to learning more about irises from this group! One of my dreams is to someday have an acre garden of nothing but different varieties of irises.
My online nickname is Enchanted Iris. You are all welcome to visit my homepage at http://www.geocities.com/DebbieSommers
Happy to meet you all!
~Debbie aka Enchanted Iris~
