Re: SPEC-X

to me, SPEC-X should be reserved for unusual or wide crosses.  if you cross brevicaulis x fulva, that's an LA not a SPEC-X.  but if you cross prismatica x chrysographes, well then you've got something unusual on your hands.

i get annoyed when i see SPEC-X applied to unimpressive crosses... especially bearded irises.  to me, "true" SPEC-X have a wow factor that you don't find in the other classes.  Paltec is a great example, or Little Caillet, or the eyeshadow irises.
