Hi Christian,

My memory says you are now in Lexington KY.  There was a huge iris group
there. Connect with the club or make a public appeal as Paul suggests and I'm 
sure someone there could step up and help you.


At least save your favorite dozen seedlings or so!  When I "quit" irises, I
saved just enough seedlings to fill a 3 x 40 ft bed, but they were the heart
of my breeding program when I started back.

Best Wishes for better years.  It will get better.

Betty W.

Well, my irises have had a rough year. First we moved, in February, then they 
anguished in their wal-mart bags for months because my husband had heart
urgery. Finally, most of them got planted, but by then the dry part of summer 
ad set in, and it didn't start raining again until after the first frosts.
Now, we have gotten the word that the property we are renting is to be sold.
ur situation is dire, so we will be applying for public housing.  I don't
think
there's going to be anywhere for any irises, much less my seedlings and
ontinuing efforts at hybridizing.
This leaves me with a question.  What can I do with the irises and seedlings
hat I do have?  Burning would be the most efficient, I'm sure, but I don't
hink I have an appropriate burn site.
Any ideas?
hristian
