I too am new to this group..i'm not sure what to expect but was hoping to
learn more about siberian iris and where to find different varieties...i did
not realize that one had to pay dues to continue on this list...it was not
apparent to me when i read the postings and such up until now...I don't know
but perhaps some of the group want this online list to remain excusive...I
would appreciate further clarification...thanks.
