I have seen where Loic has passed out many seeds. If someone were to introduce any iris from these seeds whom would be listed as the hybredizer? Loic made the cross. They have to do all the hard work growing and selecting the plant. Plus the expense of registering it and introducing it.
Would this be much different from planting seeds from a bee pod, Loic being the Bee. I would love to see him in a big bee costume: Agree? 

Something to ponder in the cold weather.

Hi All,
Snow and ice still glisten across the fields, but tomorrow is Groundhog Day! 
Can spring be far behind?  Only 2 1/2 months until the little ones start
blooming in my garden!
It's great fun to see your own seedlings bloom, addictive even! Even if they 
look exactly like something you've seen before, they are genetically
different!  A seedling is uniquely your own.  Why not create an 'Edith
Wolford' (whatever) that blooms and grows well in your garden? Or an 'Edith 
Wolford' that reblooms during early September in KY?  I'd buy that one for
sure!
Irises are some of the easiest plants to pollinate/cross. Why not joint the 
fun?

This is a good time for new hybridizers to ask questions, any question.
Someone on here should be able to give an answer, or maybe several answers. We can never have enough hybridizers. Think of the many iris mysteries yet to 
be solved!

Now is the time to prepare for spring!
