Re: OT:Quest:Roger Nelson


Heard from Roger Nelson in October -- he's fighting bindweed morning 
glory (says the roots go down 20 feet!!) and has planted bunches of 
iris.

He is looking for:

Neva Sexton's iris: MOONLIGHT & ROSES, TRAVEL ON, MIXED EMOTIONS, 
GOLDEN SENSATION, SPRINGTIME FANTASY, KIMBERLINA, SWING SHIFT, MY 
DESIRE, MR. LINCOLN, and SMALL TALK.

Joe Ghio's iris: PROPHECY, MEADOWBROOK, SHOW TIME, VERVE, LINEUP, 
SEWING BEE, SOCIAL WHIRL, INTUITION, CRUSHED VELVET, and FLAREUP.

He's been looking for MISS ALAMEDA (Awalt 1960) for a while -- I live 
in Alameda (city), in Alameda County (Roger said it was named for the 
county) & have asked every iris person I've met if they have it!

I think it would be neat if we could find some he's looking for.  He 
provides a great catalog of historics and generously shares his 
knowledge.  As in the first message: If anyone would like to send 
Roger a price list, an offer of trade,...send your snail mail address 
to me and I will forward those to Roger.  I don't feel I should post 
his address without his authorization...

On another note, my 5 bloom stalks look almost ready to bloom (I
think some are INDIAN CHIEF (Ayres 1929).  Surprising how much I look 
forward to seeing bloom!

Gesine in Alameda, zone 9 (pretty cold right now)
