Thanks for the quick reply.  This is interesting because my Aril checklist
shows RED RAPPORT as an RB (1/2-bred aril).

RED RAPPORT - RB - Ruth Blomquiest by L. Ray Leech, registered 1971,
introduced by Discovery Trail Iris Garden 1971, 18-24", maroonish red with
bronzish beard

(I have greatly abbreviated the description which takes up 6 lines in my
checklist!)

So have I uncovered a boo-boo in the checklists?????  Should Satan's
Mistress be listed as an OGB- instead of a TB?
