Graham, we haven't! I have just pointed out Spring Hill, which
consistently has the incorrectly labeled JI collection, that collection
containing a registered TB name for a JI. Yes, in my own garden, I have
some irises that are unknown. I have kept them because I like them and
keep hoping one day that a garden visitor can identify them.
