I can do that with the Encyclopedia also but that is not what i want. i am looking for a tree with images embedded in the tree. What we do now is just a database search and can be done in either the registry or the Encyclopedia.

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.
