Linda and others who look at iris-photos, wouldn't that make a 
wonderful painting....watercolor or oil on canvas? The photo 
becomes hauntingly beautiful when you have been told of the 
garden's abandonment.

While you are on the line, Linda, Chet Tompkin's FIGUREHEAD 
won Queen of the Show at the Memphis Area Iris Society show 
this spring and it is listed in the Superstition catalog.  This is an 
outstanding iris, had some very tough competition and would 
probably do well for you.
