Hi Osmani:
              Here in the pampas of Argentina and Uruguay we have 1,300 mm 
of year round rainfall.
Alarmingly the weather is hotter than ever now and we are through an 
unusually long period of drought. As a result, South American irids have 
flowered poorly and set little seed. Our normal humidity is 75% or over and 
during this long drought, lasting for many months, it is about 35%. These 
drastic changes willbe affecting wild plants to an unexpected extent.

             If in these moist parts of the world we are experiencing such 
drastic changes I have been wondering how things fare in Chile, that has 
seasonal rains and dry conditions over most of the country. Can you tell us 
what you have found this season in the wild while collecting seed for your 
catalogue?

Thanks in advance
Alberto
