We have hit a new benchmark. The Iris Encyclopedia now has over 40,000
cultivar
ages. The Iris Register I am told has 65,000 registered names and with
nregistered, and botanical names included there should be no more than 80,000
ames total, so we are somewhere between 50% and 60% of complete. It seems
ikely we will be up to that by this summer.
ut we have approximately only 30,000 images. So you history detectives can
help
s find many images that are missing. It is a delight to see pages with 10 to
15
mages.  So ultimately we could have over a million images. With now over 300
elpers it is my wish for the New Year that we can top this last year. Thanks
gain to everyone and have a great New Year.
lease excuse my cross posting the good news.
