I do respond pretty well to guilt <G>.  Also to being told that I'm
wrong about something <BIG G>.

Actually I find it more than a bit intimidating to think of writing an
article about hybridizing or the performance of historic irises for a
publication that runs articles by the likes of Ben Hager, Lloyd Z, and
others who have been studying the topic for a lifetime, when all I have
to offer is the good fortune of a lousy place to grow irises. :)  It's
one thing to make wild speculations in this discussion forum; quite
another to write an article for publication about such stuff.

Scott Aitken - are you there?  I would be more comfortable writing an
article about something with some feedback from your Dad on 'yes, that
sounds like a suitable topic' before going to the work and trauma of
writing something.
