Re: Clones

>How does one know they are clones? And does it matter to anyone?

Darlene,
       They are probably variants within the species.   Clones are 
variations within a species.   While not Irises, there are many clones of 
Hemerocallis fulva, which is a Daylily species.  You can see 6 of them here

     Jumping back to Irises, the first two photos on 
http://members.tripod.com/bigalligator_1/id20.html  are of two types of Iris 
virginica.  The white one is the clone ALBA.   The bluish one, I am not sure 
if it is a clone or not.  If anyone knows, please let me know.
