Hi Mike,
Yes, I ran into the same problem. My guess is that it is WYNCHWOOD and that
it is in commerce in Great Britain. Unless I am mistaken, which happens now
and then, a frequent practice in the UK is that an iris under trial
somewhere gets "lifted" and sold by commercial gardens. So....official
introduction doesn't take place but a sort of un-official introduction
occurs. I suppose we could call Cy Bartlett and find out.
Mike
