Re: OT-Welcome, Gena!

Gena,

Good to see you here!  I've learned so much about irises in just a year with the
iris-l.  We've had spring-like weather this week after a few really nasty days of
below freezing temps.  Hope the irises from Texas do well for you!

Patricia Roberson, in Goldthwaite, Texas, where we have had a perfect
Thanksgiving Day -- flowers (unfortunately not irises) in bloom, balmy weather
with a chance of rain tonight, and spring is only about three months away!
