Re: 'Tid-bit' - I. pallida cengialtii?

Hi Dave:
   I will get that other picture to you, but I am sure it is not right. In 
fact, I now recall we were making somewhat of an issue about it about 2 
years ago at Presby that it  was too modern looking for that time period and 
had to be misnamed.  I notice that Winterberry is selling Tid-Bit this year, 
in case you were interested in a commercial source.
Talking about sources for iris, do you know where  I could get a piece of I. 
Cengialti?
Thanks,
Laetitia
