Lloyd, your seedlings sound wonderful!  I know you are excited about each
one.  I would love to see ss 120, as it sounds especially beautiful.  It is
good to hear from you on this list.  You are the "Supreme Grand Master" of
remontant irises and without your dedicated work over the years, we would
not have the modern form and lovely colors in these irises.  THANK YOU!
