Re: CAT: Suttons' catalog & Bloom report Gr'ma's Iris

Dear Annette, I wonder if your grandmother's iris could be one I have which 
was a favorite of the Harps who founded our Iris Society (Francis Scott Key). 
 It is also peach - which is a rare color, I think.  The name is HELEN LOUISE 
 amd it was hybridized by Lapham and registered in the  '50s.  They gave me a 
piece and I am always afraid of losing it like I lost Foote's  pink iris   
MT.COOK A' DAWNING  which I still want!  I would love to have a piece of your 
grandmother's - in that way  maybe I can see whether it is HELEN LOUISE!
My Catalog from Sutton hasn;t come either -- Hope you are coming to National 
in York? !  Spring has finally sprung here - into summer during the day, down 
in the 40s at night, but irises are pregnant, so there should be plenty of 
bloom.  The SDBs are going strong now.Rosalie nr Baltimore (and the 
convention - but not one ofthe tour gardens this year, but stop by with 
notice!)  Zone 7   ryfigge@aol.com
