Re: Shift in Iris popularity Ratings


Point of interest:
Theiris listed on the top 100 in 1996 the ten iris which increased the
most in pupolarity from the 1995 to the 1996 listings are:
                                     from      to
Hello Darkness          101    17
Purple pepper              95      58
yaquina Blue               101     68
sweeter than wine        77     46
loyalist                             91     64
Blenheim Royal           101     74
holy night                         93     69
dover beach                    98     76
persian berry                 101     83
leda's lover                       72     55

The standing of 101 means that they were not rated in the top 100 in
1995.

The ten iris which dropped  the most in popularity are as follows:
study in black                   65     79
eagle's flight                     47     62
eastertime                         64    79
winter olympics                76     92
master touch                     69    86
orange slice                      45     65
theater                                79     99
queen of hearts                68     94
tomorrow's child               62     96
navajo jewel                      20    100

Two of the ratings are a surprised to me Dover Beach and Navajo Jewel.

Ps. I was surprised when I returned from vacation at the end of July to
find Blessed Again in bloom. I thought that would be the last for the
year but I was wrong. It is in bloom again 8/28/97. This clump started
Blooming on the 22 of March 1997. Temperatures in the high 90's durring
the day in the low 50's at night.
