Re: HIST: Emma Louisa (1969)

---

Does anyone have information on the Hybridizer of this iris?  "Buckles".  How many intro's do ya'll know about from him/her?

 

 

His most famous intro, done by Dave Niswonger, was 'Brown Lasso" so I'm sure Dave has all the history.  Eugene Buckles died sometime in the early 70s and lived in Sikeston, MO near Dave.  There are many intros listed on Iris Search, many of them by Dave, probably after his death.
