We have reached another milestone with the Iris Encyclopedia. Betsy has 
finished entering the 1939 checklist. She did not put in all the synonyms but 
every iris name that has some information is now entered, at least we think. 
Since previous estimates indicated there are around 65,000 names, apocryphal 
or not, the box on the front indicates we are 93% finished. But that is 
probably a low estimate and we are farther along than indicated. Now one can 
do a search for a given hybridizer, and you get everything they registered no 
matter how long ago. B If you can not find a registered Iris, please let us 
know. But for all practical purposes the Encyclopedia now has a page for every 
registered Iris. Thanks to Betsy! 

Of course just because a page exists, it does not mean it contains all the 
information it will ultimately have. We have lots of images to find. But 
presently the Encyclopedia is now the most complete Iris resource available. 
Have a happy New Year!
