Hello All,
I am sitting inside at the moment listening to big booms of thunder and
watching hail fall. All the calves have just bolted to the shed. Thought
somone would like this trivia.
However, with many people viewing the many iris growers sites on the
Internet, all I can say is Yes they are all beautiful, But It's not fair to
be so isolated in a country with such expensive and difficult import rules.
I think that viewing these sites for me, is like being a kid in a lolly
(candy ) shop without and money....Boo Hoo :)
Such a huge wish list, especially all the Japanese irises, Hmmm ,Lovely,
that will probably never ever be fulfilled.:(
In the meantime, I will enjoy all the viewing whilst wearing a
bib...haha...Regards , Wendy...wendon@dcsi.net.au, where it has been
extremely wet, we are in for a bumper spring season.P.S. Many of my Dwarf
TB's are about to bloom, Ill send in a bloom report soon...Aus zone 8ish.
