The iris in the Van Bourgondien catalog offerred as "Dragonfly" is without
a doubt Iris tectorum. Look closely to see the white crest on the blue
falls. The height as pictured and the foliage are also right for tectorum.
Doesn't look anything like a siberian or Iris milesii!
Also note that later in the catalog "tectorum variegatum" is offered but
the picture is of Iris japonica variegata.
