SIB:Flight of Butterflies

I am answering my own posts.  I have not been able to get into the 
archives or iris-register tonight but have looked in the 99 Check list 
and see an insertion for FLIGHT OF BUTTERFLIES that shows 
White Flower Farm introduced FOB "ca. 1975."  The insertion came 
after our discussion on iris-l or iris-talk of FOB not being introduced, 
so that one is officially legal in shows now!

I have thought of the hybridizer who has two HMs for the same 
cultivar - one as a border and the other as a TB.  I believe it is Steve 
Stevens.  The name of the cultivar has not come to me yet.  Maybe 
somebody can remember or look it up if you can get into the Mallorn 
Archives or iris-register.
