Hi Dave & Nancy! Hope to see ya'll in Michigan.  Okay.  For those that
don't know, Tom wanted me to look at a typical "yellow" iris, but, next
to it was an unusual combination flower that was a sib to the yellow,
but, had three times more pups and bloom stalks.  I kept wanting Tom to
look at it, but, he was too ingrossed in the yellow.  He finally
promised to introduce it if I would pay attention to the yellow.  I
agreed-he agreed, and the rest is history.

Dave: When I came back to your garden after the convention, you had a
bright yellow-gold spuria that had just opened.  Do you remember what
it's name was?  How's your little puppy daughter?  I saw one just like
her yesterday, and thought of her.

Diana Winship in Richardson, Texas where it might rain this month (but
probably won't), the air is cool (72 at 9:30) and the iris are just
about completely finished blooming.
