We had our first show for our society 'Sierra Foothills' and I was
judged down to 3rd place for Lemon Mist because they said it was fed
hormones, whatever they are for irises. The blossoms were huge but this
is a new plant for me and I never even checked the size that it was
suppose to be. I really don't understand it as none of my other irises
had exceptionally larger blooms than normal.

Grass Valley, CA Where we had our first show this weekend and my
first entries, 3 firsts, 1 second, 1 third and one best of class with
Thornbird in the space age group. Talk about beginners luck.
