I think the big wish part of my dream is the visuals. I see a tree that has thumbnails of all the ancestors and another of all the progeny. My mind can relate to the images whereas if I have to read each description the impact is not as great. Easily i could determine if a parent always produced yellows or that its progeny could be very diverse. These are genetics I can wrap my mind around. I have found programs that can do most of what I want but none yet that can do all of what I would like.

I have two different wish lists:

1) One is for my summer shopping.  For this one, all I wish for is to be 
able to look up pedigrees somewhere on new introductions (the ones not 
included in eregister) to try to evaluate them for possible survival 
here, plus suitability for including in my breeding program.  If I can 
find something I think will work, I usually try to buy one or two new 
intros each year.  Trying to reward breeders for using irises that will 
live here ;-)

No source for that info for some breeders other than calling/emailing 
them, and even that doesn't work for Schreiners.  So I try to stay on 
good terms with the Registrar(s) ;-)  Maybe AIS registrar can charge 
another fee for access to the current registrations before end of 
ordering season.

2) The other is for figuring out what to do next, evaluating possible 
traits in the background of stuff I already have.  Your wish program 
would be perfect for that, Bob.
