{Disarmed} Re: Flight of Butterflies (checklist)

Roy works from the AIS R & I's (or from additional info that has been added to a Sib. cultivar from the registrant).  I just looked up the 1972 Registration and also the SIGNA Checklist as well as the SIberian cumulative checklist. I will try to research the last few Sib. checklists and see when the "possible 40 c. " was added to the description. Or someone else will do it, please. I am trying to get the Fall TSI mailed by Oct. 20th so I can take a trip the first two weeks in November.

I have not seen the entry in the Siberian checklist
but I do not know where the 40 chromosome part would
have come from. I don't believe Jean ever thought of
it as a Hybrid and not a pure species either and it
originated with her. I wonder if another plant has
gotton mixed with this in Roy's Garden since I can't
imagine he would add that comment looking at the plant
I used to have.
