Jim and Mary Sue,

I enjoyed hearing what you have blooming ( and seeing your lovely
Romulea Mary Sue ). Here in the Southern Hemisphere the excitement of
spring has passed but some lovely things still continue to please.

It may be of interest that I am enjoying the blooms of
Californian Iris at present. I have a number of hybrids but must say
I do appreciate more the simplicity of the species. At present I have
yellow and white forms of Iris inominata and first blooms on Iris
tenuissima subsp purdyiformis. I douglasiana has finished . I am
delighted to have a new batch of Iris macrosiphon seedlings growing
well.

Cheers,

Rob
