Thanks for the advice, everyone. Yes, I did see that Historic Iris Page
and I took note of the list of characteristics. I'm going to take
pictures of these iris and put them up on my home page (I have a scanner,
a new toy) hopefully in a few days (partly because I'm so happy they
bloomed). Perhaps I could ask Mike Lowe to take a look at them there when
he gets a chance.
