John, I'm still jealous over your ability to grow AND bloom Louisa's  Song.  
It had two blooms on one very short stalk last spring, but I didn't  notice 
lace.  However, I do see it on Lotus Land and a few others.  
 
There came a time that lace was so prominent and tight that the blooms  
couldn't open properly.  Many gave up the pursuit. Ordinarily,  crossing a laced 
iris onto a not laced iris will not give lace.  
 
There are not many rebloomers in zone 6 that have lace so crossing lace to  
lace is rarely an option of mine.  However, I'm doing pretty good on  ruffles 
these days!
