WHY does anyone buy the lookalikes when you can get them from reliable
sources at not much more? Any of the boxed ones I have seen at garden places
have been at least #6.50. And if it is because of the excitement of guessing
what it might be, there are the sales at clubs or Regionals where the sale
irises come from nonprofessional gardens and errors could be more prevalent
- AND I have actually errors from professionals - "to err is human" But I
feel it is so easy for these lookalikes to slip inadvertently to others who
are not as particular as the original gardener to identify it as such and
the error is compounded forever. It is so possible for seedlings to be
entered into commerce that way - which is not ethical - if it is not good
enough to be intreoduced, it should not be passed on either deliberately or
innocently of the rules and ethics involved..
That is my soapbox - Maybe because it is Sunday I had to preach! Rosalie nr
