Kent - thank you for the info on getting permission to use the name of a living person or from their estate. - for a new iris.
Chances are, I may not have any luck at all with hybridizing - I'm such an amateur - but if I do, I'll remember that.
I like, for instance, that Beverly Sills was honored with her own iris. Such a splendid opera singer. The iris would be marvelous
in its own right, but having her name on it makes it even more special.
