This is interesting. For me, while I am starting to lose some leaves, the
remaining ones are standard length. The iris are pretty much evergreen and while
leaf growth slows down, it does continue.
You all see the eclipse?? I will send my report under the subject "Lunar Eclipse
Rpt" so you can delete without reading it if you want. Nope! Changed my mind, I
remember a chastisement some time ago that said warning about a non-iris email
does not excuse sending off topic stuff to the list. Therefore, because I want to
stay on the good side of everyone, no elcipse report. (BUT, it was really cool!)
