'Soap Box #9' must be a whiter than white self. Is it ultimately
derived from 'Love Potion' (Craig '57, TB, 40", honey-cream std, rich
maroon falls)?
It is my personal opinion that everyone needs to plant more iris and
split more clumps and dig more beds and review all catalogues and figure
out interesting names for new introductions and get away from the net.
That's just a start.
The effort required to keep up with this symposium thread should count
towards judges' training hours. And I'm on digest.
Ok, with lots of volunteers, we finish the electronic checklist pronto.
Next, with big cash and heavy brains, we set up a program to allow
voters to select 25 cultivars from entire checklist. Program has the
smarts to count. Program has the smarts to sort. No more TB bigotry,
vote for all LA. Program searches web for photos, color corrects for
monitor differences and uses imagination when photo not found. Voters
sign on with AIS registration number, smart program lets voter change
mind multiple times à la Regis until lockdown at 24h00, Aug 31 (Is that
your final answer Walta?). RVPs get life back in time for planting.
Problems? No lots of volunteers yet. No big cash. Heavy brains
need to save world, calculate outstanding VISA balance, figure out
Botrytis convoluta before it takes out 2002 intros. Requirement for
computer smarts, or at least lack of computer stupids when much of world
relies on cellulose.
Biggest problem? Only "Caesar's Brother" cracks Top 100 (at position
99, greatly embarrassing "Thriller" in position 100) , rest are TBs on
original ballot.

in before the deadhead of 31/8. And who needs to keep out of the midday
sun. And Maureen doesn't know this guy.)
