Since I mentioned several hybridizers in our area, I would be remiss if I didn't add two others. Tell Muhlstein was a charter member of our club. He of Snow Ballet fame and many others including Utah Valley, one of the tallest I have ever grown. Darlene Pinegar was introducing when about all I was doing was attending meetings and shows. I was very surprised to see how many she introduced, 100! Gizmo the Gremlin is hers. And I have seen others that ATP members grow.
Also should mention that the myrtle and morning glory didn't kill my iris. I periodically dug and shared and didn't get mine replanted. It was just that the whole area was filled with difficult to get rid of oplants and nowhere to plant.
