HIST: bronze, reb? unknown

I would be very surprised if it turned out your NOID was Argus Pheasant.  I
grew AP for many years, and it had a lovely form.  This one you show has
fairly smooth color, but a blush in the fall I have not seen in brown
irises, nor do I recognize the form as familiar.

I am quite sure it is not one of Dr.Kleinsorge's nor from Schreiners, two of
the few major breeders introducing brown irises.  Even those who introduced
browns but on a minor scale, such as Tell Muhlestein or Gordon Plough, would
not be the source of this NOID.  It could be a Sass variety, but I doubt
that too.

I am tempted to suggest it is a local chance seedling that got passed around
in the Knoxville area.

Just out of curiosity, do any of the Knoxville folk remember an iris
grower/hybridizer that I believe once lived in the Knoxville area by the
name of Andrew Moore?  I understand he is in Texas somewhere now.
