Don, you and many others on iris-photos are most generous in your persmission 
to use photos to editors of this-n-that (as I have asked many times as an 
Editor) and you all even provide higher resolution pics that are more "printable 
quality".  I especially am grateful for that and try to ALWAYS ask for 
specific permission.

I do, however, as I think many people do, regularly print off copies for use 
at iris sales (picture sells the plant) with out asking.

Using another person's pictures on a website or catalog or even in an iris 
publication is quite unforgivable without permission in my own opinion, even if 
the picture has been put freely on a forum.

BTW, anyone with great median or Japanese iris pictures is encouraged to send 
them to me off-list (PLEASE!) and I promise to credit the photographer and 
even send a copy of the publication if you are not a member of the Section .
