thank you barbara, i'll have to evaluate what i have, first. but,
since i am inflicted with the iris virus, you may get a t-mail from me.
thank you mary ann for the clearing the confusing notes i had in my garden diary. i think i took those exact words from the old catalogs i used to order the irises. i must have been intrigued then, to copy those phrases into my notes. no one to ask at the time.
ghio and marriott gardens were both close-by to where we used to live, along with HP, Apple, Google, and Stanford U. miss the area (& my irises☹️).
cannot look back, i thoroughly enjoyed my garden while we were there, and look forward to this new but different garden. never thought i'd be growing tropicals and succulents with my irises. it's an odd combination that's for sure.
