Dear Rosalie,
Your message got here - thank you. No I was present at the 4th ISA
convention you have mentioned, but it did sound like a lot of fun. You must
have enjoyed it a great deal to have such a vivid memory of it all after
such a while.
Yes, I do have a copy of Graeme G's latest catalogue. It is in delightful
Christmas colours this year of red and green with one of John T's louisianas
"BETTER BELIEVE IT" on the cover. Yes, IRIS HAVEN does have a catalogue
too, but we have committed almost all of it to our website
http://www.pip.com.au/~irishaven so it you would like to view it, please
feel welcome to do so via this convenient internet thing. It saves on
postage, and you don't have to worry about misplacing it! (I have a terrible
habit of doing that!)
I will do my best regarding re-blooming iris for you, but think that Dianne
and other Oz iris-talkers may also be able to assist you as well. We grow
mainly La's and have a few which have regularly re-bloomed for us over a
number of years. FOR DAD and MAD ABOUT YOU are regular re-bloomers for us.
They are from the reversal of the same cross which I did in 1990. I am
currently awaiting the arrival into bloom of several children from these two
and am hopeful that the double dip of re-blooming will do the trick for me.
I don't know of too many other re-blooming La's - do you have any in your
listings?
Cheers for now. Heather Pryor irishaven@pip.com.au
