Mike, 

Now, you are being somewhat tantalizing yourself!

Yesterday you hinted that Harmony might be derived from I. aphylla; today
you make the simple declarative statemen

Then, you proceed to say:

But you don't say what is the pedigree of Ethiop Queen. I have an
aphylla-free pedigree for it from McKee's "Fifty Years of Iris", which is
not always the most reliable source, that goes as follows:

ETHIOP QUEEN (Schreiner, 1938)  (Grace Sturtevant x Indian Chief) X The
Black Douglas

Does this agree with Phil's and Keith's pedigree?

Thanks for the RRRR's!!
