Re: HYB:Re-Selects

Betty,
My rhizome was labeled GUILDED CREAM when I received it and I believe I
later verified that spelling on your web site. Is this reference to GILDED
CREAM the same iris?  I think I had posted a photo of it also but I'm pretty
sure it would have been under the guilded cream spelling. I'd like to
correct my records and maps if necessary.  Thank you very much.
