HIST: HONORABILE, and HIPS Page Articles

From: HIPSource@aol.com

Greetings,

This may have been mentioned already, in which case I apologize for the 
redundancy. I've been busy with HIPS Board business and have been skimming.   

Anyway, a short time ago we had a discussion of the historic variegata 
HONORABILE (Lemon, 1840), a much beloved iris much given to erratic sports. 
In the course of this discussion I mentioned an article by Jean Witt in a 
past issue of ROOTS, the journal of the Historic Iris Preservation Society. 
Mike Lowe has been kind enough to post this article, and others, including 
one on Rebloomers by past HIPS President Clarence Mahan, on the HIPS webpage. 
Look to the left, just below my brief notice on Irises for Period Gardens.

For those new members of this list unfamiliar with HIPS, I shall say that we 
are an international organization, an affiliated Section of AIS devoted to 
the study and conservation of hybrid Iris cultivars thirty or more years old 
and historically important Iris species. Thus our mission includes irises of 
all kinds, and many ages. 

We invite you to visit our webpage, which, we believe, is among the most 
attractive and informative of those devoted to irises. And we invite you to 
let us know if we can be of any help to you. The address of the page is:
