You can get forward pedigrees from the Registry. Just make sure you have name and description checked. then you get list of cultivar and any cultivar that has the name of that cultivar in the registration files.

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.

Unfortunatly the daffodil people tell me they constructed the platform
themselves and it is unique to them. This is why it is non 
transferable.
They apparently really know a lot about programming but are spending 
as
much time as they want on the daffodils and would not take on another 
task.
I would be delighted to find someone who had enough computer skills 
to help

integrate some other programs into the wiki.

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.
