I was intrigued by the photo and attempted to run a tree using the following:
AMERICAN PATRIOT (Cy Bartlett, R. 1996). Sdlg. C92-123. IB, 21" (53
cm), M. S. white; F. blue purple, edged white; beards red. Fierce
Fire sib X (Wychwood x Battle Fury). Sutton's Green Thumber 1997.
My database choked and blew me a raspberry when it attempted to find
'Wychwood.'
I did a hand search and pulled a blank all the way back to the '39. I
tried homonyms/variants and came up with:
WYNCHWOOD (J. D. Taylor by C. Taylor, R. 1988). Sdlg. D45/9. TB, 38"
(97 cm), L. S. blue; F. white; red beard. Jones 742-7 X Actress.
Trouble is, this does not show as having been introduced. One of the
rules in registering an iris is that registered but not introduced
iris cultivars may not be used in a pedigree using the registered
name. If the parent cultivar is not introduced, the seedling number
must be used in pedigrees. This tends to throw doubt on Wychwood
being a typo or misspelling for Wynchwood as the registrar would
likely have caught the error and substituted a seedling number for
Wynchwood or the typo/error Wychwood.
Can anyone shed any light here?
