Mike,
ST. LOUIS BLUES ('79) and MEMPHIS BLUES ('87) are Schreiner irises with
zonal spots, neither one of which is descended from the other or from
VICTORIA FALLS. I do not have the complete pedigrees for these, but it does
appear that at least one ancestor of all three is HARBOR BLUE (Schreiner,
'54).
