Dear Science Committee and others.
Tonight I received a call from the Missouri Botanical
Gardens asking if I could provide a list of Irises
that perform well in the St Louis area. Although it is
not hard to create such a list, it does take some
thought and time. I believe their intent is to have a
list showing the greatest diversity and proven
cultivars. I see this as an opportunity for them to be
recommending various types of Iris expanding the use
of plants within this area.
In theory we already have such a list in the AIS TB Popularity Poll's top
100 TBs and the Sections' same lists of other types. I don't believe it wise
to do something else on a nationwide basis. Locally the Regions can make
their own decision regarding such a list. Otherwise it becomes almost political
when you don't list any of a prominent hybridizer's cultivars that have won
national awards but simply won't grow in a particular region.
