Subject: [iris] Good News!!

We have hit a new benchmark. The Iris Encyclopedia now has over 40,000
cultivar pages. The Iris Register I am told has 65,000 registered names and
with unregistered, and botanical names included there should be no more than
80,000 names total, so we are somewhere between 50% and 60% of complete. It
seems likely we will be up to that by this summer.

But we have approximately only 30,000 images. So you history detectives can
help us find many images that are missing. It is a delight to see pages with
10 to 15 images. B  So ultimately we could have over a million images. With
now over 300 helpers it is my wish for the New Year that we can top this  
last
year. Thanks again to everyone and have a great New Year.

Please excuse my cross posting the good news.
