AHA! You may have struck something there Rick...when the foliage first
started to emerge, the first thing I noticed was that the base of the leaves
were a deep reddish/purple, as you describe.
See how much I'm learning from this list already?? Thank you sooooo much!
And yes, it's still pouring here...buckets, and the iris and lilies DO NOT
like it at all....(I think I heard one of them yell at me on my way inside
after work today...tee hee hee)

I'll be picking up my picture disks tomorrow and will get my pic up on my

I really appreciate all your help! Thank you :)
