HYB:Iris names


Right up there near the top of the Burseen/Kasperak competition would have to
be Sterling Innerst.  His use of an adjective-noun combination is a dilly and
a fun dilly at that.  "Ominous Stranger"---hmmmm.  I've met a few.  "Anxiously
Forward"---yup.  Been there, done that.  More than once too.

But with "Innirishow," I've never been real sure just how that was to be
pronounced.  It's clever, and darned original, but oh my...the furled brow of
the casual garden visitor over that label.....that has got to be something to
behold.

Then at the same time he has delightfully mainline names like "Foreign
Statesman" and "Concise."

I'm just waiting for someone to come out with "Homeland Security."  Betcha a
nickel it hasn't been used.....yet.
