OT: my irises

From: dkramb@tso.cin.ix.net (Dennis Kramb)

I'm back home from vacation.  And much to my delight there is an iris in
bloom!  I haven't checked my map yet to figure out which one it is, but
it's definitely something I haven't seen bloom before, so I'm a happy
camper.

Also waiting for me was a big box from Iric City Gardens of Lousianas and
species irises that I ordered...but it's too cold (for my comfort) to go
out and plant them!  Brrrr...

My specimen of ELECTRIQUE that had succummed to rot shortly before I left
on vacation has made a beautiful recovery with 3 strong healthy increases
growing and a nice firm rhizome (well, what's left of it) that shows no
sign of rot.

One of my cristatas from Christy Hensler bit the dust while I was gone.  :(
But the other one appears quite vigorous.

Also waiting in my mailbox was a pack of seeds from Sterling Okase (thanks
Sterling!) for iris milesii.

I've got quite a lot to do this weekend!  (Not to mention catching up on
several days of IRIS-TALK emails.)
