Friends, I have a friend in Iran who is on the Plannig Comm for a big Symposium on Ornamental Wild Flowers of Iran. It will be held next spring and they would welcome foreign guests. I belive there are both formal sessions and tours. Other options may be available too. Please check out http://www.wildflowers2017.com/ <http://www.wildflowers2017.com/> Thanks Jim W.
