I, too, Peggy and Anita, agree that spirited discussion and exchange of ideas
greatly benefits all plant fans and indicates healthy growth for AIS.

Thanks Bob and Paul for your input, which I do not find acrimonious in the
least.  I just looked at the updated Iirs Wicki and am very impressed at the
amount of work accomplished so far.  Thanks to all Bob's volunteers and hope
you continue through the coming dreary days of winter!!

Mr. Pries and Mr. Archer are intelligent iris people and AIS is fortunate to
ave them as working members of the society.  Let them agree to disagree.
he shrinking iris world needs every interested party.  Thanks to both for a
pirited discussion and please stay with AIS.

  Hi All,

 I hate butting into these things but I think you guys are talking apples
 and oranges.  The Plantstep program is just that a program that an
 individual purchases and uses for their own purposes.  The wiki is an online
 data base that will take years to fill with all the information about Iris.
  If you go to wiki and look at other plants there is no reason it can not be
 down loaded for personal use.

 I have hybridizer pro and though it has problems I can get data from the
 online checklist and plug it into the database.  I use my own pictures or
 those I have permission to use.  Dave's Garden has made a valiant attempt at
 producing a data base for all plants and it is very ambitious.  But the old
 saying Garbage in Garbage out for data is the same now as it ever has been
 with talking computer data.  There is little control by DG for there are too
 many plants and too little knowledge.

 The wiki on the other hand is purposed to have iris people who check
 entries.  THis step provides a greater measure of accuracy for the wiki than
 in other iris online databases including Garden Web.  Tinker's garden is
 probably the best online database for Daylilies and I use it extensively.
  That is the kind of information the wiki should and could have if the time
 is taken to make it so.

 Does this make sense?

 Hope so

 Happy New year to all
