Answer to Walter's question (Why the hoopla over the new indexed list
of all iris?) is, it seems to me, that by no means everyone owns all the
R & I books, and to acquire them would cost several more dollars than a
composite list showing cultivar, hybridizer and date of intro.
Furthermore, unless one hybridizes, most of the pedigree information
isn't relevant. As to color, of course this won't show that, but one
can see that in the garden, one's own or somebody else's. Personally, I
think the new book will come in very handy.
