I have replaced lost plants, only to lose them again. I don't think anyone
need malign any breeder's program, but the plants that do well for most people
should be recognized. That's a positive, instead of a negative.
I don't even keep records of hybridizer's names, just the plants, when I
bought them, where I bought them, when (or if) they bloomed. That tells me
something. I don't have to say "All of John Doe's creations died", I just
need to say "White Iris" bloomed 3 years straight, at such and such a time,
and had strong, well-branched scapes. Then if someone asks me to recommend a
cultivar that is white and has bloomed for me consistently, I can give them
what I know.
BTW, I wish people would sign their posts. I don't know who I am reading
sometimes. Also it would be helpful to at least know what state you are from.
