You might be a Redneck Irisarian if you name your new TB's after different
brands of chewing tobacco.
You might be a Redneck Irisarian if you've ever tried iris leaves as a
substitute for chewing tobacco.
You might be a Redneck Irisarian if you hang TB's from your rear view mirror
to dry before you replant.
You might be a Redneck Irisarian if spend your summer evenings cruisin' for
women (or for men, as the case may be) between the local gas station and the
nearest iris grower.
You might be a Redneck Irisarian if you can't decide between Elvis on black
velvet and the current Dykes medal winner on your choice of colored velvet
canvases.
You might be a Redneck Irisarian if you play country music for your irises
because you think it makes them grow better.

I couldn't resist since I was born and reared in the South. No, we don't
all say "raised in the South". As one of my elementary teachers taught us,
"chickens and other animals are raised, but people are reared". No one
bothered to tell her that rule was in question in some parts of the South.
