I also vote for sue-dah-COR-us, just because I like the way it sounds better.
 Something about sue-DACK-or-us just bangs on my ears!!  But I understand and
respond either way people choose to say it, sans comment!  I count it among
the "don't sweat the small stuff" issues.

Welcome, Lee in Rhinelander, WI.  It's not exactly frozen here today--the
snow that's been falling all day seems to have reached an equilibrium with
ground melt at about 5 inches--too much for this time of year!   Am beginning
to think our beardless iris show scheduled for June 22 may be a median
show...

Anyway, Lee, you will probably have an iris wish list a mile long before
you've been on this list a month....!  I think wish-listing has been
perfected by frustated gardeners living in climates with snow on the ground 6
months a year!
