Yup, I wanted to tell Dennis that this list hops during the summer
when there are lots of proplems and wonderful blooms out in the
garden and people are making all kinds of obsevations etc. I am

like a chat about growing irises over the back fence. You can't get
textbook type instruction from a group like this anyway.
