Schreiner's and Cooley's make it their business to list the currently
popular TB irises. In most cases they are not the hybridizers. And
although they do have a large share of the market, I would doubt that
that has much effect on the popularity poll. Both nurseries offer such
an extensive listing of recent-vintage TBs that it's hard to imagine
potential symposium winners lurking in the ranks of their unlisted.
Happy irising, Tom.
