Re: Re: Lurkers

Lee,

I know that someone will have some ideas, but I also know that there are some messages in the archives mentioning root beer aroma.

Search for root beer.

I am trying to locate an old fashioned iris of medium height. I haven't seen it since the mid-60's, so I may not be able to describe the look of it exactly, but I think it had purplish falls and beige (or possibly pale yellow) standards. It might be an intermediate bearded iris. This I do remember clearly: it had a strong fragrance of root beer. As kids we called it the "Root Beer Iris." I am writing a family history, and I would like to include a photograph of it. I would also very much like to obtain a rhizome for my garden. I suspect there are still some out there "lurking" in someone's grandmother's garden.
