Just want to give you Alberta members a heads up.
Ginny (Inanda) is passing thru Calgary and stopping to teach an Iris workshop for the Hort. Society on June 21. I am hoping we can have a little get together either that evening or for Sunday brunch on the 22nd June. Mark your calendars!
The pic is Blueberry Tart - acquired last fall from a local gardener whose Irises I was helping to split.
Woo hoo! Sounds good Carol - count me in. Looking forward to meeting Ginny! Is CHS taking sign-ups for the workshop yet?
Joanne
No it has not been posted yet.
Count me in! It is on my calendar. I always think a roundup sounds like some kind of rodeo though.
Theresa
Kind of appropriate for a meeting in Calgary though, eh?

Hi Guys
I will do my best to make this too, is this Father's day weekend? I will figure out something as My Dad is in Calgary!
What a super reason to get down there, family and gardening friends.
Carol you always have such excellent ideas.
Thank you
Ann
PS I love the color on that Iris!!!
Count me in as well!!
Joanne
Ann Fathers Day is the 15th/
Here is another Iris - this one sent free with an order from Chuck Chapman last fall. It is a spuria which I have never grown so no idea how it will do. It is called Sultans Coat.

I'll be there with bees on my toes fancyvan. Will be great to meet some more crazy Canucks :)
Carol
I love that Iris too and somewhere I have a Sultans somthing Iris , I'll have to find my list and see if the second word is Coat.
Thanks for the Heads up on the Fathers day weekend.
Ya Hoo another get together!
Ann
Carol, luv your Sultan's Coat!
This weekend is turning out to be a busy one for me- Ginny is here with the workshop on Iris Sat morning, repeat Sat afternoon if enough interest.( that means more than 28 people, 20 in the morning, 8 or more in the afternoon-morning has to fill first)
I probably have a dog agilty demo on Saturday morning at a Stampede Breakfast and Sat/Sunday is the Alberta Ballet tour which involves Lougheed House so I will probably be on duty there. on Sunday
So this will definitely have to be a Saturday afternoon/evening gathering.( maybe the Iris workshop might be of interest too! - go to calhort.org to sign up.
This might interest you also!

carolvan you are a busy, busy girl! We might to have a Fooly Grown Tippy-toe Garden Tour on Sunday. Joannabanana, Grow Jo, Violist are you guys in??? carolvan will your cool hat be done by then?
Carol
Oh my, it seems that weekend is nuts! Are you sure about the evening, as you may need a rest before your shift on Sunday?
Just let me know what works and I will do my best to be there.
I am coming to Calgary to split my mom's perenials for her just around the long weekend in May but it is easy to get there a month later too. It would be super to see you and the girls again.
Ann
Haven't been here for a while. I would love to participate in any and all tours and visits. Count me in!
