with the name-game. Clarence Mahan has officially registered the name ROSE
QUEEN with AIS for the pink, species form of I. ensata. But there is also

I believe rather a lot of iris folk are going to England this Spring and I

Not the best time to move a hunk, but it could be done. Last I heard you
could bring back up to four plants in your luggage, but all soil had to be
removed.
I assume this will not come true from seed ?
