Re: Re: possible display gardens for Iris

Hi all,
The Iris Society of Minnesota has done a great job of securing planting
places for Iris.  In front of Businesses and such.  We should all look for
those types of places.  But then we will have to pull the weeds and stake
the Iris and and and.

Oh well I am scheduled to be laid off in March.  Don't suppose I will get
another job at my age so I can do that right?
