Welcome Deb,
Always great to snag another sib fancier. Def. an addiction.-In case you have any
doubts about your condition.
If you want to order some spring sibs, Leroy - Ambrosia@silk.net has a sale -50%
off- Don't know what is left but you could ask him.
Ellen, our lovely list owner, lives in the wilds of NH, surrounded by sibs & just a
few (!) lilium. She does emerge regularly for major events such as the AIS
conventions, JI seminars, maybe even a sib convention or two.
When you have time, go to the CDN Iris Society pages, ably edited by Chris. There
you will find info about the 2003 sib convention. Come visit Canada.
Chatty Ginny, waiting for it warm up abit before going into the garden.
Ginny in Victoria BC not OZ, zone 8
