Re: HYB: Hybridizers on board?

Great idea, Linda!

I hate to bother the pros, but have asked a few questions while in 
the process of another communication to a few of the big guys, and 
have always received gracious and generous answers.  I've just done 
an article for Tall Talk incorporating those tips and MANY from iris-
talk, a sort of beginners' primer on hybridizing, to share all I've 
learned in my maiden voyage.

I'd love to have an organized way to ask such questions of the pros 
without bothering them personally.  Not all are as accessible to us 
as Mike Sutton, who really outdoes himself in giving us tips & advice.
