RE: Double Iris cristata !

I love the plant! There's also reference in the WOI to an orchid-pink cristata (page 266) that I'd dearly love to get my hands on. Somewhere I also saw reference to a pink cristata in east Tennessee or western North Carolina but my correspondence with native plant folks in those areas hasn't yielded anything. I suppose it could have been a trillium, but I keep searching.  If you got a pink one, you own me lock, stock and barrel...

Hi Jim,
         I agree about "Dick Redfield".  It's enough to convince those
purists who don't like double flowers.  I think I remember hearing that
there is another double cv out there, too.
