Re: Re: SPEC-X

 

I would not expect someone who does not like Tbs to see when a plant that could be registered as a TB is distinctly different from the rest of that class. Making fun of others opinions, reflects ignorance rather than sophistication. I might suggest That the SPEC-X definition be removed from SIGNAs purvue since so many in SIGNA do not seem to have a wide knowledge of Irises, either hybrids or species. And in its present form the class requires a very broad understanding which it seems is not something that they choose to gain.

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.
