Linda, Mid America Gardens has extensive listing of TBs (and color pictures
too). Paul Black is one of our finest breeders of TBs, and has some nice
SDBs and other medians as well. His GOLDKIST, and iris I liked as it was
performing at the Portland convention, won the Silver Plate of the Industrial
Organisation at the International Iris Competition in Florence in 1995,
meaning it placed 3d among all irises in competion. (Schreiners CLASSIC LOOK
was 2d, and the winner of the Premio Firenze (Gold Florin) was an iris named
IKAR bred by A. Volfovich-Moler of Uzbekistan!!!!!). Clarence Mahan
