Re: Re: CULT: survivors (NOT Silverado)

Hi Linda,

Did you go to Falls Church?

I did.  One of Rosalie Lovings favorite's that stood proud and tall with all
the rain and she said hot dry weather later, was a beautiful Iris Hybridized
by Francis Rogers, Meadowbrook Gardens.  The Iris, Halo Everybody was
spectacular in the West Memphis TN garden at the Memphis convention.

I don't know how to post a pic to the Hort.  If someone will tell me I will
put a couple of pictures out there for you to look at.  My opinion there are
few of Francis Iris that do not perform and perform well in a variety of
climates.  His work is our secret.  I have a section of my Iris garden
devoted to his work.
