Linda, et al; You have hit upon one of my dreams. I would love to see pedigrees in the Iris Encyclopedia. Perhaps I am thinking too far ahead in that we still have cultivars to enter. But I look at what the Daffodil Society does and drool. They can present a tree going backward or the tree of progeny going forward, and where they have images those appear in the tree also. A magnificent job. 

Only just a couple of weeks ago Mike Lowe and I were discussing how to get the many pedigrees he has worked up for historics into the wiki.  Unfortunately, as yet, I do not have a clear route as to how to integrate these programs. I wish there was some computer nerd I could go to and say this is what I want, how can you get me there? I contacted the Daffodil Society and they told me they wrote their programs to fit their platform and they would not be transferable. 

It is still a dream! I just looked at some videos this morning for a new $500 program called Smart Draw. It looks like it could do what I want but probably not within the Encyclopedia. There are makeshift possibilities but so far I have not figured out how to do this with the elegance I would like.

...I wish pedigrees for all the current intros were available somewhere so I
wouldn't have to buy catalogs.  Or try to <find> the catalog that has
disappeared into a stack of iris stuff...

Alternatively, I wish all the online catalogs/viewing sites for new intros
would include pedigrees.
