Gesine you can already do this and I am working with Mike to get his pedigree charts there. You are just trying to do it in a way that does not work. I will explain later. Historic is a different type of classification than TB or IB. and is accomplished in other ways. The pedigree charts have been a particular interest and I have some ways to get them there but I am hoping to create some even better ways that would be more elegant in that they will display thumbnail images in the pedigree.

Hi Robert Pries and all,

OK, while you're thinking about changes to the Iris Encyclopedia, why not
figure out how to make it so you can have a cultivar in more than one
category?

Four people have separately asked me about this -- that you can't put an
iris in as both e.g. "tall bearded" and as "historic", and pointed out that
this makes it a lot harder to look up historics on the encyclopedia.

You could start with Mike Lowe's pedigree sheets, by just putting the
pages-as-is up, somewhere in the encyclopedia.
