Not sure if this is a Luminata ... can't look it up since it is a no ID (bought as Sharpshooter at box store)

Congratulations! Our Iris group took 5 of the 9 busiest threads last week! Even the one Paul started on Friday! That's so cool!

Politicians are like diapers, they need to be changed often, and for the same reason.

Better look again, Tom. We took SIX of nine -- the ninth busiest thread was Ann's thread titled Iris Identification!!!

I am doubly excited now, reading this thread in July. I now have a better understanding of luminata and excited to view Clarence, which I received from Arlyn earlier in the month.. I feel like the old commercial where the woman is at a storefront saying "Open, open open,"; only I am saying "Spring, spring, spring!"

The cacaphony of "spring, spring, spring" has barely started Cleta -- but it slowly builds in late summer and early fall, increasing in late fall and early winter, and reaching deafening volumes by late winter and early spring!!! That's when we devise games and projects to keep ourselves from going totally insane!!!!

I hope contact with other iris-o-files, like you Mary Ann, Tom, Sherry, Pam, Barbara, Arlyn and whomever I forgot, will keep me sane during the long winer of Idaho With the trades this summer and 15 Noids a friend gave me last year I am looking forward to 40 new varieties next year. I know that is a paltry few for some of you, but I doubled my varieties. Looking forward to winter interaction. Count me in.
