We started out unknown to each other, with only our love of Irises in common. Those of us who have been here from the beginning have come to know and like each other, sharing the highs and lows of our lives, as well as our Irises. We've welcomed new members along the way, and they've become a vital part of the fabric of our group.
I start my days with a cup of coffee while checking in to the Iris Forum at ATP -- to see how my friends are doing. And I end my days with a nice glass of wine and another visit to see what the day has brought them. I agree with you completely, Celia -- it IS a second family, and all of our lives are richer for it.
Thank you to Dave and Trish for providing the format for perfect strangers to become valuable friends.
