No -- but it is going up -- we hope to have a really good symposium this year.
As with any organization, only a few bother to take the time to respond. 21
the first year, nearly 70 the second. We hope to get 20 to 25% response (a
couple hundred) eventually.

Yes -- but as with all else in the iris world, Tall Beardeds dominate. When
this whole business started there were far fewer classifications than now
exist.

Horned, Spooned, Flounced or as we now tend to call them: Space Agers
