Hi Linda,
Check Mike's pedigree charts again - SNOW FLURRY is not an ancestor of
WHOLE CLOTH. You might want to consider growing WC's pod parent CAHOKIA. It
was listed in the '98 Bluebird Haven Iris Garden catalog.

The problem with BR is that there is very little on the pod side of its
pedigree that is probably still around. Argyle Acres does list CRUSADER -
it's 4 generations back, but it is a first generation tetraploid out of I.
cypriana, so it might be instructive to see how it does for you. It is also
in the background of many of the early "black" TBs.
I don't think LENT A.WILLIAMSON is in BR's pedigree.

How about the pinks? Hall's flamingo pink lines were essentially derived
from crosses among five cultivars: W.R. DYKES, DOLLY MADISON, MOROCCO ROSE,
DAUNTLESS, and RAMESES.
