---------------------------------------
Am I correct in thinking that if I ever did find variation
in color or form of wild Iris Versicolors, that it is highly
unlikely that I would find variation within one particular
site?
Would it also be true that there is far more variation in
wild Versicolors in the eastern segments of the continent
than there is toward the mid-west?

Where my iris are still covered by 6" snow, and everything
else is still covered by a thin varnish of ice from rain
last night.
