I am seeking assistance in finding some of the introductions
hybridized by David Rawlins from southwestern Ohio.
David and his wife Esther were two of the individuals
responsible for forming the Miami Valley Iris Society over
41 years ago. David hybridized 13 irises, 12 TB and 1 SDB.
Most of these were introduced through Hall's Flower Garden,
but Earl Hall no longer grows most of them. Some of the plants
did not receive wide distribution. David passed away several years
ago, and unfortunately several of the intros have escaped from
Esther. She has recently expressed a desire to re-acquire them.
ANY help in tracking down the following cultivars would be greatly
appreciated.
Shiloh Belle 1964 registered only
Shiloh Hills 1968
Esther Rawlins 1971
Finale 1974
Silver Slippers 1978
Dave's Dazzler 1978
Double Dip 1978
Golden Shower 1978
Golden Buckeye 1983
Sunset Song 1982(registered by Esther Rawlins)
Color Coded (1982), Miami Mist (1973) and Little Episode, SDB (1982)
are accounted for and growing in several local gardens. Please contact
me off-list if you have any information regarding the above irises. Thanks!
