I have been reading all the millennium chat this month with a certain
amount of resignation.
Given that serious iris work is almost completely associated with the
20th century, consideration of the Millenium Iris seems a little much.
I suggest an alternative. Instead of a millennium iris; a millennium
list! That is real 1999. Here are some suggestions:
1. A millennium list of the lists which could be associated with iris,
('As in the following.' replies the Grouch):
2. A list of the individuals who have had the greatest impact on the
Iris in the millenium ('Linnaeus' replies the Grouch).
3. A list of the most significant breakthroughs in iris hybridizing in
the millenium ('The century, the century' replies the Grouch).
4. A list of the most significant authors ('Redouté' replies the
Grouch).
5. A list of the most important species ('They have been hybridized out
of existance' replies the Grouch).
6. ok, ok, a list of the outstanding cultivars ("I'm outahere" replies
the Grouch).

working on a millennium software project much too long now. A real SAP
