RE:(Soil Question) and REBLOOM IN FREDERICKTOWN

Rose and Rita, I plan to try those two irises here. I have an unusual
request. I have never been to Missouri but I am dreaming of coming there
for the AHS National in 2004. But in case I do not make it for that.
If either of you could or would be willing to put 1/3 cup of
that harsh Missouri clay into a plastic zip lock baggie and mail it to
me, I will pay postage! I guess that is legal? Anyway, I want to see what
others call clay in their areas...I have North Carolina red clay to garden
in and I also have some pure clay pockets on our 7 acres that my brother in
law actually gets truck loads for making his pottery. He is a potter  and
this
clay makes lovely things in his hands. It is a little different from the
red clay that is in my garden areas though...If you are willing to send me
an
ounce or two, just let me know and I will send my address. If you have
ammended
the soil, just tell me what was added...Now , Does everyone think I have
lost it
completely? Well, I probably have! But I would like to compare soils anyway!

I HAVE REALLY HAD GREAT LUCK WITH ALL THE FLOWERS YOU SENT-THANKS ROSE
Rose, you certainly are welcome and thanks for the nice note.  We really
feel
that anything that does well in the harsh Missouri clay and climate has a
great chance in other areas!  Those two plus SMELL THE ROSES (SDB)   are my
favorites!

We have had no rebloom this year because we have ripped out most beds to put
in Guest Irises for the 2005 AIS Convention - y'all come!
