	Now, this is a different slant. Maybe we need a calendar of HIPS
	irises and no hybridizers will get their noses out of joint.

	Or conversely, perhaps irises bred by dead irisarians should only
	be used for the calendar and postcards.

	See how bizarre something simple can become if one chooses to walk
	on eggshells....(crackle....:-)

	I wonder if the Japanese iris postcards sold by Ensata Gardens have
	the I.D. on them....or do they just use the ones they sell and/or
	hybridize?????

	Feeling a tad embarassed to write twice on this subject when I have
	never purchased either the calendar or the postcards. :-((

	Signing off,
