Thanks so much for the information on SWEET LORRAINE.  Am not surprised
that it is a Plough iris.  So many of my older ones are Plough intros. 
Used to visit his garden in East Wenatchee almost every Spring.  I have
checked every catalog I've ever received, but not found a source for
SWEET LORRAINE.  Hopefully there is still someone out there who has it
and would be willing to share.
