One of the techniques for searching is to use the least amount of
information you need to do the initial search. For instance if you were
searching for irises that have the color wisteria you would want to
search for:
wist* (the astrisk means: anything else)
thus you would get a list of irises that had both wisteria and wistaria
as a color (the latter spelling was used in the '60 I believe,
Likewise because some people registered iris names Angels XXXX and
Angel's XXXX you should search for Angel*
Searching can be an art...
