I peeked at your list of articles, and was reminded that you're one of my favorite authors.

I'm still not sure whether that thread left me rolling on the floor laughing, or cowering under my bed in fear of The Pronunciation Police.

And :

"According to many sources the iris takes its name from the Greek word for a rainbow, "
...
"By planting white irises in your bed, you will be "cleansing the palate," so to speak. You will be giving each color a foil to play against. Your pale yellow iris will not look like a washed-out white one when it is growing by a truly white iris, and your lovely dark irises will only look more saturated with color in comparison with the white one. And the white one will glow and be beautiful in its own right. "

I see one of your Interests is reading. Have you published much?
