Photo Galleries

Under Construction - 'cause I still have more to scan.  Updated May 07, 2007

To speed downloading and have room for as many pictures as possible, the resolution has been optimized for display.  This means that although you can print them, you'll probably be disappointed in the picture quality because it will be no better than you see on screen and the images themselves will be smaller.

The new photo galleries are in Slide Show format, to get as many seedling photos online as soon as possible. 

The Hunt, Malevil, McAllister and Seligmann sections also have many photos.

The old Photo Gallery is still available, separated into several sections for easy browsing:

Arilbred Categories is a hybridizing section, with separate pages devoted to crosses within and between fertile families.

Crosses provides Sibling Sheets  (most of which have photos of both parents as well as representative seedlings from the cross). and Descendant Pages (which show a variety of descendants of prolific breeders.

Cultivar Portraits presents only registered clones, organized into five "slide shows" by type:   Arilbredmedians, 1/4-breds, 1/2-breds, 3/4-breds, and Aril Hybrids.

Posters are like the Educational Exhibits you see at Iris Shows.

Quizzes offers a few examples I used in presenting programs to iris societies. 

Seedling Beds provides some insight into the evaluation process, presenting some of the seedling pictures posted elsewhere in a different way.

Seedling Portraits presents a wide range of seedlings, from run-of-the-mill to worthy of introduction.

Species Portraits provides a selection of "mug shots", with more detailed information about the species themselves in the Library.

Thumbnails has been set up for those who like to just wander through the seedling patch.  This page has a wide selection, but because it is so large it takes a long time to load.
