Hi Jeff,
Thanks. The story is that originally I thought I had FIRST INTERSTATE (which
is Schreiner's '91). Then someone (a 20 yr iris judge) said it wasn't FI and
suggested JT. I changed the name in my database, but forgot to change the hyb
and year. I subsequently saw an iris labeled JT in a local botanical garden
and though it looked very much like what I have. Actually FI is a much more
likely answer from a logistics point of view.
Net, net, is that I will take it off the list until I can get the real FI from
Schreiners and figure out what I really have.
I appreciate the feedback.
