Mike.
This is all together too intelligent for the likes of me. If I had thought
of this I probably would have patented it and sold it. Thank you.

Dave put your self with the wind at your back . Have a big piece of
corrugated box board stapled or nailed to a narrow board.

 Make the bottom of the board pointed so you can drive it in the ground.
Short for medians and tall for TB's. Also good for shade for better pictures
on some iris. Use it to block sun or wind.

Some of my SDB's were short with smaller blooms this year. Little Showoff
had many blooms with style arms  and standard missing. Lot of four falls &
standards on others.

TB's look like they will be taller than normal.
