I am new in this area of irises (hybridizing) and I know I am ignorant of many
factors involved here but I keep running across what Walter has mentioned above.
Y 163B??? This using seedling numbers instead of a named plant baffles me.
This kind of practice would never be allowed in breeding animals! Is it that the
plant (seedling #) isn't good enough to register? If this is the case then is the
plant really worth using as breeding stock? Or is something else involved here
that I am not seeing? Using seedling #'s can make it very difficult to trace
lines. Is this the object of this practice?
