Beautifully expressed, Laurie! I am especially intrigued with your paragraph which follows:
<My unknown Queen - I received this iris under the name of JUDITH (which
she is not). This extraordinary plant sends up a very tall, straight
stalk from which opens the most exquisite flowers in my garden. I can't
really tell you what it is about her that touches me so deeply. She is
an historic bitone of pinkish/whitish tones. Her standards are strongly
domed, her falls entirely pendant, and her beards exceptionally long and
bushy. Ethereal. Eternal. The slightest dew will fold her wings, but
the most wicked climatic assaults can not diminish her determination to
survive. I stand in awe of this flower and would sit at her feet to
await her bloom - such is her allure.>
Have you thought about sending photos of her to some of the HIPS gurus for possible identification? And have you checked the HIPS website to see if you can find her? You might also be able to identify your historic neglecta by one or both of these methods. If you find either identity, please let us know.
