Barbara, I kicked and poked fun at and disparaged Facebook...until recently when I started experimenting with it--and found that the Iris groups are fun. Sticking tongue out *Blush* Hilarious!

Marilyn and Lucy, I guess the proper term I should have used instead of " I don't use Facebook" should have been I don't use Facebook because I don't know how to use facebook" I never even knew they had different groups. The Iris group sounds interesting.
Marilyn thanks again for the information on how to find the albums on Superstition Gardens on Facebook.

You are welcome Barbara! Glad you found it. To be honest I don't go on Facebook much...but when I do, I go to the Iris Lovers page (where I see Sherry very frequently Rolling my eyes. ) and to the Superstition pages. I also occasionally visit some of the other hybridizers and iris group pages...but it's pretty infrequent.

I see Iris Lovers, Iris hybridizers & reblooming irises. Median & dwarf irises as well because that is our main interest. Some things pop up (like a person selling shoes) but we report it & I delete those.

Well, it's a picture I took a few years ago, but things look pretty much like that today. That's one of my paint stallions, he's 15/16 Thoroughbred. He's 23 years old and has 13 crosses to Man O' War. His father was a 3 time world campion race horse with a 99 speed index. I also have a half brother to him that is a registered TB, and a son of his that is a stallion too, and out of my best race mare. I never raced him as he was born in May, too late for the two year old races, and most of the money for Paint races is in the 2 year old year. You can see the air port that I live next to.

Me too, when I was in college I took ground school instructions for flying, and piloted one flight. It was so fun, but too expensive for me at the time. I never picked it up agian, but I love flying. I have the best seats in the house for the annual air show. Smiling

OK Barb -- I'm beginning to think that you're a ringer. That's an amazing amount of Blyth cultivars. Exactly how many Irises do you have altogether, may I ask???? And are *we* responsible for your irresponsible behavior? You had five Blyth Irises in 2012, you added twelve in 2013, and in 2014 you acquired 49!!!!!! OMG -- I think that's some kind of record!!!!! Hurray! Hurray! Hurray! (From Mary Ann, page 17)

Sorry I'm not the best with computers and I don't know how to copy someone's comment and have it in the nice little box like so many of you do *Blush*

Mary Ann, I have a bit over 600 not counting any of my no ID's or my order from Superstition a few days ago.
And No "your" not responsible for my irresponsible behavior! That's all on me Green Grin!
The reason I got so many Blyth and Keppel Iris last year is because of Sisters Iris Farm! I placed two orders and they sent so many bonuses that I would be surprised if they made any money on me! Great customer service too! The only thing I can blame on ATP is informing me of all the great Iris vendors out there. Without you guys I would have never known they existed! Well maybe I'm a bit irresponsible because of the beautiful photographs that Brad (and others) posts. Lovey dubby I'm really looking forwarded to ordering from Sisters and Napa again! I also want to order from Keppel, Ghio, and Mid America based on your recommendations! My issue I had last year was I couldn't stop hitting that " order here button" Sticking tongue out Some of the sites I ordered from the prices were so reasonable I just couldn't help myself Sighing!
I think I should change my loggin name to Iris addict Rolling on the floor laughing
Also the Airbus video was awesome!

@Phillipb2, quoting is easy, just hit the Quote in the bottom of the post you want to quote from. It fills it into your post. From there you can keep the entire text or just a portion that you want to quote, like I did above and delete the rest. Just make sure you don't erase the opening and closing portions, the brackets and words between the brackets.
You can even create your own boxed quote by using those brackets like this: [quote ] at the beginning, but without the space after the E though (which I need to do just to show you how it should look), and then add your words and then end it with [/quote ], again, without the space after the E.
Clear as mud? Hilarious!
