Re: HIST


From: "S & C Rust" <srust@fidnet.com>

Karen, I have read about an iris that is an MDB that pioneer families used
to plant on graves.  They referred to it as the cemetary iris.  I have also
read it is called ATROVIOLACAEA.  I grow this iris and got it from HIPS. 
It is small, purple, has a light blue or bluish white beard and a sweet
perfume.  It is a very good performer here and repeat blooms again about a
month after the main bloom, which is early.  It is very tough and hardy. 
Nothing seems to bother it.  Bet Anner will know exactly what you have, I
am certainly not an authority.
