I'm starting to think that all of the ones I want to order but they are "out of stock", maybe Liz has already ordered them,

Aw Gabe. There is always next year, and otherwise you could soon get those iris in trade!

I doubt it since he is a lighter shade of BLUE!

But Greg - he is from Michigan so the remark holds. Just hope you aren't both anti U of M and anti Duke.

I am not anti Duke at all. I am anti Big 10 though.

I like to agitate the "blues" in NC. Go Wolfpack!

Greg, that last post could be in some obscure foreign language! I'm guessing it's something to do with sports? Duke? Big 10? Blues? Wolfpack?

Hilarious that I understand nothing of what you're saying (there've been a few other posts that left me puzzled). Divided by a common language...

The Wolf Pack is also University of Reno, Nevada

Edit: Mika, yes it's sports...

I live here and sometimes I'm puzzled too.

I meant I hope Gabe isn't anti U of Michigan. I know you are a Maryland boy, so you will have to get cosy with the Big 10 sometime. Your teams did well this year in their new conference.

Mika - yes, he is teasing me about college sports teams. And in particular - basketball teams. Basketball is extremely popular where I live. We have four major colleges within a 40 mile radius so there is lots of rivalry between them (and the rest of their sports conference - the ACC). I happen to be a Duke University Blue Devils fan, while Gabe likes the University of North Carolina Tarheels (Duke wears royal blue, the Tarheels wear sky blue - so they are called the "battle of the blues"). The Wolfpack is NC State University which is also nearby. Greg chose it just to tease me.
