MMario, can't say yet if I have any rejects; this year will be my first viewing of the vast majority of the '97 crop and part of the '98 crop.

I did have the great good fortune to have 2 of the '97 bunch bloom last October, one of which was good enough to register with the American Iris Society. I have yet to see the 9 other plants obtained with this particular cross bloom. . . only another week or two to wait!

If you know someone who is interested in irises and would like to communicate with me by e-mail, they can contact me at auxiris@aol.com

Sorry for the thread creep, all. . . well, at least it was garden chat.

cheers, Aux
