Re: Iris Ignominy


Personally, I find it very hard to read reports formatted with the cultivar printed in capital letters. Unless I'm seriously motivated by the topic, I almost always just bail out after a few paragraphs.

But a current practice of the Iris Society makes us all look ignorant in the eyes of the world plant community when we write for the various journals associated with AIS. The fact that this practice is carried out not out of ignorance but out of defiance of the rules and regulations that have been arrived at democratically during International horticultural conventions seems all the more reprehensible. What am I talking about? Well, don’t laugh, but do we really have to print cultivar names in CAPITAL letters.
