CAT:Superstition, Historic

From: wmoores@watervalley.net

	I try to keep my historics in separate beds, and when one in 
the fields becomes historic, I try to find a new home for it in an 
historic bed.  Since I have been at irising for a few years, more and 
more are becoming historic, and I need to create more beds for my 
aging irises.  I limited myself to one 'new' historic this year from the 
extensive listing in the Superstition catalog and think I can 
squeeze it into an existing bed.

	I chose CORSAGE (Watkins 1955) 30" M.  Pure satiny white, 
pixie-painted and haphazardly splashed with brilliant yellow; no two 
petals alike; very unusual, very rare!! (Sounds like something Aline 
McMahan would have liked in "Gold Diggers of 1933" if this 
CORSAGE had been around for her to wear!)

	The description reads as if CORSAGE is an older broken color 
iris.  I am wondering if any on the list has grown this one and can 
share information on it.  I think this is a first listing of this cultivar 
by Superstition as I don't recall seeing it listed before, though I did 
not compare the historic listing with previous catalogs.

	Thanks in advance if you can tell us something about 
CORSAGE.  Think it could be worked into broken color breeding 
lines??

p.s. My decond choce was QUIVERING FLAME by Lloyd Zurbrigg. 
Lloyd, if you got this far, can you gives us more details on QF?
