Re: TB: HIST: Wabash etc

From: linda Mann <lmann@mailhub.icx.net>

Thanks Mike and others for really interesting, informative discussion of
WABASH and lookalikes on the iris-photos list (I'm posting the thanks
here in case others who may have missed it want to go look).  

Now I wonder if my 'over the fence' start from my elderly aunt is really
WABASH.  She only has three cultivars, all the most common ones for her
community, all old forms, but I think you and Anner and others have
educated me enough to be aware that don't mean nothin' when it comes to
IDs.

I've read the directions for what to look at when trying to ID an older
cultivar, but it really helps to "hear" the diagnostic things that the
expert checks for a particular cultivar, as well as how those
characteristics vary from year to year, under different growing
conditions, and as the flower ages.  In particular, I was interested in
the your comments about WABASH being listed as an MTB in the Spoon's
catalog, since that struck me as odd when I saw it that way in the
catalog - it's definitely a smallish flowered (tho not remarkably small)
TB here.

Thanks again Mike.
