John is a very active member of our iris society in KY. He is really an up and coming hybridizer and his newest one, Wildcat Madness" after the Kentucky Wildcats is just the best I have seen! Such a really nice person and a real asset to our society and the iris world in general.

John - Glad you can join us! Love the fact that it might have RE in it. I did not get very far with adding pictures of your introductions as I was only pulling from the web. We all would love it if you could add more/other pictures to all of your introductions. I tip my hat to you. Hurray!
