Excellent suggestion, John. I did this last night. Mary was quite
apologetic; she has been busy. She said that the last of the orders would
be in the mail by the 1st of the week. I mentioned the iris-list briefly;
said I would post this info. if she desired, and she thanked me.
I was astounded to find that she is working a full-time job in addition to
her antique (?) business and iris garden. She will retire next May, and is
looking forward to having more time for her garden. She was hoping she did
not have too many losses, as the weather has been "uncooperative" for the
past 2 years.
I am still marveling over her super-human efforts, since I have still not
recovered from moving approx. 250 cultivars into sod-covered soil in the
past 4 months or so....
