Re: HYB:AIS:Checklist

I think trying to get a 100%  correct ID on a iris is next to imposable. The only sure way would be to have a DNA test preformed when registered. Sure would cut down on new intros. 
Pictures on monitors? Take Thornbird  it has a different color in different gardens. So do other iris. So in the garden we have differences.

I would imagine there are a lot of registered iris that do not exist. Where would you get pictures of  some of the very rare ones that are grown by just a couple of people.
I take a lot of digital iris pictures and quite a few the color does not look like the iris in real life.

If more people would post to iris-photos there pictures we would have a searchable data base of iris photos. Those photos might give you some idea of what you have.There might be several different photos to compare.

If AIS put them on a CD they should be the official photo. That would not be possible to do at this time and be 100% correct.

Even the descriptions in R&Is are very general and cannot be used to get a 100% ID.
For example " light blue self, white beard"  that covers a lot of iris.

Just my thoughts
