Oh, Kathy! Oh! Oh! Welcome back!  

You have been on my mind.

I was just telling a list friend the other day that there was a bit in the 
recent AIS Bulletin from a fellow in Petersburg, VA, which is about 
twenty-five miles south of me, who says he is having some bother getting his 
setosa seedlings to bloom.They have not bloomed after three years. I've never 
had any bloom before the third year, but I've always had bloom that year, 
with the exception of one I grow from SIGNA seed under the name I.setosa 
"Grandiflora", which I don't think is legitimate. I need to check the BIS 
book on that taxonomy. Anyway, others in colder climes claim bloom in the 
second year and I'm wondering if this area may be the southern limit of good 
growth. We are just north of the latitude at which the native I. tridentatas 
are said to start appearing in the wet places close to the Atlantic coast.
