Roll call, great idea! My name is Tien and my interest in irises began this year, when I picked up a clump of irises that my mother-in-law was throwing away. Not sure what happened, but I started reading on the subject and was hooked! I'm a librarian in charge of a small urban library in Rhode Island. In addition to irises, my interests are poetry and classical music. Wish I could meet you all and see your gardens in person!
