I am surprised that no one has been able to verify the number of registered
iris cultivars. From reading posts on this thread it appears the on line
iris registry is not a reliable record of iris registrations. Does such a
record exist? Is there someone within the iris society that can be contacted
for this?
I don't think anyone said it was unreliable, and we all know that it is not yet a complete record of all registrations, so claiming to be able to generate the complete number of registrations would be unrealistic.

We all know you like to gloat about the daylily CD, but the iris checklist is what it is. One of these days we will have it all online, and be able to insert corrections, unify the terminology and make it better. In the mean time it is significantly better than having nothing at all on-line.

Being snide serves no purpose.
