Re: HIST: ID-ing: Bluebird Haven

I believe that she will attempt to ID more recent varieties too.

Thanks Gesine - I had no idea she would do this.

From what I've been able to find out so far, Phil Edinger's expertise is
primarily with irises older than the ones I'm trying to ID.  My three
are from the 50s-60s, maybe 70s.  Phil says that by that time period,
there were a lot of irises around that are similar enough that IDing
becomes more difficult.  I guess that not enough decades have gone by to
thin out the ranks!

Do you know whether or not Mary Hess will try to ID more recent ones?

These are recent enough and unbelievably tough enough that conservation
is not an issue.

                   will grow your unknown, she'll give it an ID number,
                   and then will see if she can ID it, or sometimes
                   someone visiting the garden will ID it.  Or sometimes

they stay a number, but they are conserved!>
