Spec-Versi

Cat Mousam was actually a collected one from the Cat Mousam bridge area over the Maine Turnpike. The story is that Bea Warburton was returning to Massachusetts from a trip to Maine to see iris gardens and a show when she pulled offf the highway to check out the native versicolors but it was a young Kevin Vaughn (at the time) who waded out in the water to collect it!                 My son Andrew just received a grant to do a population study on I. Versicolor for this season. He will look at color, and size of flower along with growth conditions and many other things  in the native populations here in western  Ma., southern Vt. and N.H. Plans to publish his findings in the AIS bulletin. Debby Wheeler Zone 5 Foxbrook Iris Farm Colrain, ma.01340
