Re: Cult:[Historic] (Sans Souci)

 Scarlett,

There is a picture by Mike Lowe in Mahan's Book "Classic Irises" on p. 57. A
very good chapter on this iris that "lost it's name". Introduced in 1854 by
Louis Van Houtte's.  It seems the expert do not agree on what it looks like.
 There's a variation picture on p. 59.

Thanks a bunch.

A friend gave me this iris.  He purchased it from the Farmers  Market.  I
took pictures to the 2006 convention where Historic experts  identified it
as
Sans Souci.  I have Honorabile.  I didn't think the  irises looked all that
similar.  Honorabile looks like the pictures I found  on the web.  However,
I
couldn't find Sans Souci pictures on the web.

My Sans Souci has white standards with a hint of yellow and red-purple
falls
with gold beards.  The falls have a spray next to the beards.   Does that
sound like Sans Souci?

Scarlett
