Queen of Show

Hello Fellow	Iris Lovers, Writing to you from sunny San Diego, 
California, Zone 9.  The weather was close to 80 degrees today.  I was 
out in my swim suit in the iris field.  We have  seven rows of fifty new 
iris planted this year.  I was encouraged to hear from the person who 
took runner up to queen of show.  We just won Queen of show in April 
with CLOUDS ADRIFT.  It was our first show ever so we felt really proud.
That is the most beautiful white iris and grows so abundantly.  Each 
stalk is covered with six to eight huge cloud white flowers.  They 
really smell too.  The whole kitchen fills with the sweetest aroma.  We 
are trying to get a HONKY TONK BLUES, QUEEN OF CALICO, and BRIDES HALO. 
I could trade some beautiful pinks like PINK SWAN.  We were unable to 
get these on our order from Nicholson's Iris Gardens.  They have the 
best buys and are a fraction of the cost with the same product and 
quality as Cooleys, Schriners, and Roris.  We have been having a problem 
with the crows pulling our iris out of the ground! They are looking for 
bugs and the iris get in their way.  Can't wait till those roots get 
established.  Signing  off from srocha@pacbell.net
