some more questions

Thanks for the answers everybody.
    Christy, I visited your site and found it splendid since I found much usefull information there (at least - for myself). Maybe one day I'll join the forum concerning species too. I liked your SHAPE SHIFTER. When did you registered it - last year?
    As to ALLY OOPS, I read the following in R&I brochure: "Parentage unknown - presumed siberian x pseudacorus". Can we say something about the parentage for sure now?
    Christy uses sign JS for results of JA x SIB crosses. But among her own that kind of cultivars there was one from SIB x JA cross. Should we mark it also JS or on the contrary - SJ? Do you think the results of both kinds of crosses could be combine into one class in the future? If so, what name, do you think is better - ensibs or sibsatas? It also concerns the results of many other interspecies crosses (say, sibcolors or versibs; pseudatas or encoruses etc.). How many cultivars should we obtain to form a new class or maybe it's a wrong question?
    If we have now result of cross between 28 chromosome SIB and PCN, then we certainly can use term "CAL-SIB" (or 'CA-SIB or 'SIB-CAL'...) concerning all siberians. By the way what term was first historically - "CA" or "PCN"? I like "CA" more since if we want to be absolutely exact geographically, we should name them "USPCN" or "NAPCN" (if they also grow in Canada and Mexico - I don't know if it's so). On the other hand Japanese irises grow not only in Japan and Siberians - not only in Siberia but we use these terms. Then why not to use the sign CA?
    If we have two groups of siberians (28- and 40-chromosome ones) inside one class, I think, it's not logically to use term "SIB" to whole class and to its part at the same time. We have a name for 40-chromosome group - "sino-siberians" but I haven't met special term for another group. E. g. we could call these groups "sib-siberians" and "chryso-siberians", no?
