Once again I agree, I think one way to combat misslabelings is to start
our own catalog for Irises. I am not sure how we would go about this
but, I am sure that if, even though some of us are spread appart, We of
Iris-L Decided to start such a cattalog dedicated to upkeeping
intregrety of iris growers and honesty, it would fly. I would try to
help as much as Ipossibly can.
