Second. I have found photos from two different places of these irises but described as a different color.
1.Acropole (Cayeux 1939) photos: purple standards and falls with white center, desc as pale pink.
2. Photos as a pale lavender, desc as a light red bitone
3. Charmeur (Cayeux 1931) looks pale lavender to me, desc as light red bitone
4. Dominion (Bliss 1917) purple bitone, desc red.
5. Iduna (Goos & Koenemann 1926)
Lavender, purple bi-tone desc as mid yellow bitone.
Third. Would like the names of iris books that might describe/have pics of historic irises prior to 1940.
Thanks a million!!
