I do not understand how people dare to post wrong pictures when a description is available (I.e. in the link to Twiki the picture from IrisParadise is OBVIOUSLY wrong.
For the information of ALL ATP members I checked some French irises recently posted in the database. A new 'member' posted a lot of WRONG irises. I noticed among others 'funny' information an iris with the wrong spelling, the wrong hybridizer, the wrong parentage, self instead of plicata, yellow iris when it is red, and so on. Nobody can expect from me to amend hundred of irises which have been approved according unknown information. I have always tried to share good photograhs and right information. The pictures are taken in my garden and I have many plants to enjoy and study. In no way I would run around the botanical gardens to make believe about some knowledge I do not have and just copy the tags and post. I disagree totally with this kind of practice to 'increase' (???) any database. Both Cubits and ATP were having very reliable database, it will be too bad that all this becomes totally beyond control.
Cowrita: tags can be moved in botanical gardens. As far as the irises are on a vetting process no one has the right to go, shoot and post, overall when knowing NOTHING about irises especially about historics. That leads to spoil both the reputation of the botanical garden and the work that is done to spread right information.. .
