Shawn,
I think Tom and my point are being misunderstood. It's not that the name is 'so cool', but rather a sub-conscious factor in humans that we feel comfortable and 'vote' for what we know, and see on a regular basis. There's a lot to be said for celebrity status.when voting occurs, I think Jesse Ventura, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Al Franken, and our current commander in chief are good examples as such. And please, I'm not trying to take this thread into a political discussion, rather citing politics as a vehicle to prove Tom's point. I agree with that, DC is owned a lot, has name recognition and stands the test of time as a great iris. And for what it's worth, Thornbird too, and that hybrid I do proudly own and love, and find amusing a number of folks I've read think it's down right ugly. Not me!
