:Hagar
(spelled "Hager", by the way). Ben Hager is semi-retired now, but still
introducing through Adamgrove. He has perhaps the most wide-ranging interest
of any hybridizer. He used to say it was his goal to win the highest award
for *each* category of iris. Does anyone know if he succeeded? He's
probably best known for some Dykes-winning TBs (Beverly Sills, Edith
Wolford), but I think one of his biggest accomplishments was the creation
and development of the tetraploid MTBs).
:Linda Miller
Probably best known for her work with the MDBs. She's done some creative
breeding in this area. She's also active in society business, to a
degree I find almost unbelievable. Are her days 50 hours each?
:Boswell
Carl Boswell hybridizes medians, but is particularly recognized for
his arilbred medians, having won the William Mohr award/medal several
times over. He introduces through Adamgrove.
Not too juicy, I know, but I hope it's a little useful.
