Re: naming irises

---

Help me on a technical point. The lecturing professor's assertion is certainly one of those huh? moments that always come up in a good discussion of cultivar. I have to assume the man is exquisitely correct. Registering a cultivar with the AIS appears to the encouraged protocol for introducing one's iris to the community. If one wants the cultivar to remain genetically synonymous with a certain clone, how might one go about this? For discussion's sake, how could it be done strictly within the current protocol? If we need to discuss changes of protocol, do that after exhausting the "no changes" options.
