Jan, I keep forgetting to mention how awesome I think it is that you'll register that iris! It's such a special one because of it's origin, and the fact that it survived the fire. I love stories like this! I also think you should introduce the daylily that you'll name for your sister. It's stunning!

I'm quite positive that I have a bed of over 100 seedlings now that are going to be worthy of registering and introducing but more than likely, I'm going to dig them up and toss them out before I get to see them bloom. I have way too much to do before moving, and I'd rather start over than to move that many babies. I'll just take the parents and 3yr old seedlings with me, and hope for the best the next time around. I've only seen 5 or 6 of my seedlings bloom so far, and none have knocked my socks off. Well, one was very pretty to me, and I may stick a name on it someday, but it won't be introduced. Since it will probably be named after my Mom, I'm not worried about using a name that I'd rather save for something later. It's worthy of her name though - at least to me. She'll probably hate it! She'll lie though and tell me it's the most beautiful flower that she's ever seen!
