There is a local gentleman here that makes beautiful irises, names and sells them. They are tempting but since they are not registered the name may be used at a later date by another hybridizer for a registered iris. This leaves the non-registered iris you buy as a NoID. In other words you may create an iris and name and sell it and then two years later the big catalogs will put an entirely different iris out there with the same name. Then everyone that has your iris has to drop its name. That is sad.
