Timothy ~ Thank You! It is SO frustrating to look up an iris with one (common) name and get 50 responses, and why doesn't the single name show up first???

Paul2032 said:Here is the goat story. One of my neighbors daughter moved home and brought with her a bunch of various animals and chickens. Among them was a pygmy goat. I went outside one day and it was in my front yard feasting on some of my flowers. I tried to get it to go back across the street but it would not go so I drove around the corner to tell the owner. I parked in front and went to the house to tell the owner. When I turned back I saw that the goat was on the seat in the front of my pick-up eating a napkin.......

Paul, that story still makes me laugh. If you could not coax it out of your garden how did you manage to get it out of your truck? Rolling on the floor laughing Wish i had been there. Hilarious! Hilarious! Hilarious!

Welcome! Mike

Glad your iris was found for you.

Paul - Great goat story. How did you get the goat back out of the truck? Bribe it with more food?
