	Mark also sent me I. tectorum and PALTEC and I have the former
	in a shadier spot near the woods and PALTEC is planted with the
	other bearded irises. They seem to be doing OK but next Spring
	is the real test. :)

	Lucky duck...:)) I still have one more IMMORTALITY with a large
	bud that I dutifully cover every night since the other IMMORTALITY
	stalk I brought in the house went kaput. CRIMSON KING did however
	bloom nicely in a vase.

	I have to plant bulbs today. Lilies and narcissi (3 varieties),
scilla,
	muscari (2 varieties) and galanthus (snowdrops)....no I. reticulata
	this year, again.

	I am working on a seedling bed and always plant some seeds outdoors
	in the Fall feeling I am working with nature. She doesn't like my
	help and doesn't cooperate *but* when she does it is glorious. :)

	Cheers,
