RE: REF: Iris Descriptions, Please


From: "Steve Szabo" <stevesz@erols.com>

Rosalie,

Thank you.  The sun has been out between the showers, and is once again
shining brightly, pretty much since the tornado warning was lifted
(according to the morning weather reports) at 4 PM here in Northern
Virginia.  I'm thinking about going down to the Potomac to see how much it
has risen in the last week and a half or so, since the last time we were
down.

Every iris I planted last month is coming along, except Thornbird and War
Chief.  However, even without new growth, they still look to be fairly
healthy, and I have hopes for them yet.

garden spot?  Wish i had room because he produced outstanding irises
