This is scary, Mike. Because then either the retailer or consumer is tempted
to attach a name to it and then we have confusion forever.
I know that such a thing happened here..... where somebody had a pink iris
they figgered was BEVERLY SILLS and a plicata they guessed was STEPPING OUT.
We are STILL trying to straighten it all out.... since the error is
perpetuated in our sale (innocently) and we have to cull these out of the
show each year - which is discouraging for an earnest new member.
And haven't I heard a line about some wholesalers/distributors - that they
never run out of an iris as long as they have a label??
