RE: Desert Heritage

Franceca,

            Thank you!  It was good enough to tell me that another iris we bought last year was wrong.  Thank heavens it was in quarantine until it bloomed.

            I am so glad to see this project you are working on.  Right now, in my opinion the biggest problem with arilbreds is the number of misnamed cultivars being circulated out there.  After getting bit on this we have instituted a quarantine policy where all iris coming in to the garden have to be seen in bloom before we can list them in our catalog.  This year approximately 33% of the arilbreds we bought last year have been misnamed!!

            I really appreciate all your help with this!
