Karl,
There are several varieties
with"path" as part of a name. Likewise with
"honorable." In addition to Honorabile,
there is one that is named Honorable, but probably is not in
circulation. There is very little chance what you have is this latter
one. There is at least one other possiblity the name of which I don't
recall exactly, but it had two words, one of which was
"Honorable."
If you know anything about these two--how big the
plants are, whether they have purple coloring on the base of the fan of leaves,
or if you know the color of the flower--all of these would help us to make sure
you have the right information.
My guess is that you have been given these.
The person who gave them may be able to describe how tall, what color and so
on.
One of the possibilities for
"path" is Pathfinder. It is an older
iris, but not as far back as Mary Geddes, for example.
Honorabile is a small flowered, very bright yellow in the
standards, patterned red with lines, veins and a little shading of almost red
over white and yellow ground. It is a perky little thing and full of good
vibes, grows like a weed and has been around over a century. It has purple
leaf bases too. If this does not describe what you have, give us all the
information you can and we'll take another try.
There are several other named irises with
"path" as part of their name.
