Don't forget that the Crocus Group is not a sub-group of the SRGC Forum.
A good ( Goode)  point, Anthony, though I don't recall anyone saying that that was the case ???
I believe the Crocus Group started as an offshoot of the British Iris Society?

Surely not an offshoot Lesley, as that would be a clone! ::) Would have to be a seedling. ;D

I rather like the "sport" description.  Works well.  Although one could be a bit harsher and call it a mutated offshoot?  ;) :o

 ;D ;D ;D
Cheers.
