I am delighted to see some of Keith Chadwick's
OASIS irises showing up on Iris-photos.
Just for the history buffs--the Sand Hollow area
where Chadwick is working is only a couple miles from where Melvina Suiter (LADY
BLUE BEARD, SWEET ALICE LEE, OWYHEE, TOMECO and many others found in pedigrees
originated. The most significant irises of Mel Suiter include the first two of these hidden in the ancestry of
the Dykes Medal irises VICTORIA FALLS, SONG OF NORWAY, and I believe also
CELEBRATION SONG) through a Jake Scharff seedling not otherwise identified, but
the ancestry of which shows on the HIPS "Quick Fix" and "Dykes" photos
pedigrees).
Her TOMECO circulated world wide, and is in
numerous red pedigrees. The Schreiners used it, for one, and it is in
the family tree of many Schreiner reds.
Neil Mogensen z 7 western NC mountains,
but once upon a time lived not too many miles NW of Chadwick south of
Fruitland, Idaho, and spent a good many years as a Garden Judge there, and a
year as RVP of the region. (Region 11)
