While experts in botanical identification may find it easy to be "sure of its
identity" by comparing a plant to it's formal description, I'd wager that
most of us growing species iris will struggle with this even after years
of trying to figure out what we are supposed to be looking for. I've
managed to disprove the identity of a number of species iris I've purchased
or grown from seed over the last few years. But proving that something
really is what it is supposed to be is much harder, particularly when something
might be a hybrid! Does that mean that amateurs shouldn't send seeds to
SIGNA and other seed exchanges?
