Hello, I hope you are well and that your biggest concern in life is how to get a Ungernia bulb to bloom. Knowing how much a person can want a particular bulb to bloom, I do hope you can accomplish this. I am asking if there is a chance you will be in the San Jose area visiting your daughter and her family during the time period of April 28 and if so would you be interested in judging the Clara B Rees Iris Show? Now I realize this is a long shot. Unfortunately we can't offer you a plane ticket (or at least I don't think we can, I'll check) but we can offer room and board, a token $50 for judging and a free lunch after the judging of the show. You are probably thinking "what a deal". You already know we are a bit excentric! You could also see my new greenhouse Wayne put together on the back of the house with plastic and boards we were going to throw out, but now we will wait until all the seedlings have sprouted. You could check out the 100 fruit trees in 1 gallon pots that Wayne grafted and the new bee hives he has built. Not to mention seeing the garden in bloom. We have lots of fruit trees in bloom and lots of narcissus, crocus and other bulbs. Yes, we have a real shortage of judges this year but would consider it an honor if you just happened to be in the area and could judge our show..
