Iris Namesakes

Hi everyone-

I've been keeping track of those on the list who have iris named for them.
 Here's what I have so far (I know this took forever to send, I get my list
in digest form and I write my e-mail off line and then I forget to send it):

CLARENCE
ROSALIE FIGGE
Dr. Z (Joan Roberts--to be introduced if all goes well?)
BARBARA MANN (originally mentioned by Linda Mann as one with her sister's
name, but now we have the real live Barbara-it-was named-for on the list,
Wow!)

Here are some with a different slant:

DON'T BE SHY (McAllister, 1994)
Graham Spencer offered: "Ok - not named for me as such, but I see in the
CheckList: GRAHAM'S CHOICE (Busch 1979)"
and,
"But then I do think I'm a bit of a BOY WONDER (Ghio 76)!!! :-)"
And Walter Moores is was thankful that, "WALTER BUTT is not named for me!"

Anyone else out there want to add to this?

P.S. Thanks to everyone who gave me advice about the shade irises
