I'm curious, Paul. How are you determining which cultivars are still grown?

Would it help to only enter the cultivars that are still grown and only appear in parentages?  In the database I'm creating I'm setting it up that way so it will be a snap to pull up a list of which ones to enter or exclude.  Just something to think about.


So far I've sorted out 15,500+.

It would be possible to create pages for every historic Iris inside the Historic Iris web but you would have to enter every one as a new page. That seems unreasonable, since you are essentially asking us to double all our work with the exception of irises of the last 30 years. Actually because there are about 45,000 they would have to be split into more than 5 webs just as we have had to split the tall-bearded irises into five webs because a web only works well when it has under 10,000 pages. But what would be the point?. Getting a list of 45,000 irises does not seem useful. It is almost like saying you want a list of all irises.
