Ken, I would recommend purchasing, through SPCNI, a booklet titled: "A Guide
to the Pacific Coast Irises" by Victor A. Cohen. It has only about 40 p.
but an excellent guide to identification. It is $4.00 postpaid. If you are
interested you can contact Jay Hudson at irishud@mcn.org because it was not
spelled out to whom to send a check. Good luck.
