Re: HIST: The Lady Iris?

Anner --- The Hungarian word for iris is noszirom (there's a long umlaut over that first "o" that my keyboard can't supply), which means, literally, "woman flower". It does not translate as "lady iris", but who knows what our earlier irisarians might have done when converting foreign nomenclatures? -- Griff

Greetings.

Anyone ever heard of any Iris in cultivation prior to 1900 being called "the
lady iris" or "the little lady iris" ?

Any information would be much appreciated.

Cordially,
