I'm replying to the list Collen, as I'm sure other listers will be keen to 
hear more about our Australian Hybridisers.
Can you give us a list of names of irises you want us to look out for? I'm 
happy to join the search.

BTW, I have just had 'WABASH' bloom here, and it looks much more like BRIGHT 
HOUR, pictured on the HIPS page. It was sent to me by an elderly lady in 
Adelaide. I'm sure it is not her who is confused, but it seems highly likely 
that it was introduced to Australia as WABASH, seeing there is so much 
confusion in the U.S. (read all about it in the archives). Oh, well, it's 
rather a pretty iris, so I won't throw it out.

Cheers, Jan
