Are you serious?!?? I just fell out of my chair laughing!
How is that SPEC-X and not TB??? Wow. Just, wow.
Coming soon to an AIS near you... arilbreds registered as Louisianas! Reticulatas registered as tall beardeds! Hahahaha...
Sorry AIS folks, but your definitions & rules are incomprehensible to me and I've been an iris enthusiast for a while now! Y'all might want to consider renaming this category. Seriously, .....
I'm sticking with my own definition of SPEC-X. Sorry, Dolce, but you're a TB.

In this cross you have aphylla as a grandparent, and even then it is a selected seedling. So great grandchild of a species. I would think there is some argument for excluding this sort of cultivar from SPEC-X.
