Takes a little while to get into Kit's interview - but well worth listening too.

I heard it Maggi and enjoyed it immensely, but I had so many more in depth questions for Kit. I'm beginning my collection of juno irises and I have a lot to learn! Does she frequent this forum?

You could  connect with her via facebook, Jamus.  Kit is an SRGC member (- of course!) but not a forumist.  She's also an AGS Show Secretary - busy woman!

She's a  real card, too- great fun and dedicated to  knowing her plants.

I was laughing out loud listening in the lab at work to her quirky anecdotes. I found myself regretting the distance between us. She's the kind of person I need more of in my life. :)
