Re: Re: My new memebership

Welcome; My wife spent a year at UNC and now considers herself a Tarheel, She loved Raliegh. Considering how well many plants and trees grow there I would be amazed if many types of Iris wouldn't do well, TBs are not the only Iris.

that well as it doesn't get as humid or continuously wet around Raleigh as
often or for long time periods as it may for her.
