Chris comments:
Actually irises don't have to wait quite that long to be considered
historic. A closer analogy would probably be historic/antique
automobiles.
HIPS (Historic Iris Preservation Society) says that the cutoff date for
an iris to be considered historic is that it have been registered 30
years ago or more.
