OT-BIO: Mary Blatz

G'Morning All,
I am new to the list and have come out of lurk mode to introduce myself.  It seems I've been gardening all my life, one way or another, since following my mother around her flower beds--some of my earliest memories are the smell of her climbing roses, and the unforgettable prick of their thorns. . .  Where I used to take a utilitarian approach to gardening, maintaining that my only truly worthwhile efforts were in veggies and produce, I now devote almost all of my space to flowers--well over 200 varieties of perennials and flowering shrubs and, of course, iris.  Initially I avoided them, thinking they must be difficult to grow;  then an older gentleman at church sent me home with a bag of leftover rhizomes, and now I'm HOOKED!  My husband's happy 'cuz every year there's less and less lawn to mow, as I get the Troy-Bilt fired up in spring and start tearing things up. . .
 
My first question for all of you is this:  I have several TBs which came from a nice lady the next town over;  she had them labeled but I've yet to locate any info about any of them--anyone heard of the following?:
CAROLINA GOLD, IRMA LEE, JET FIRE, OVATION, PINK PUSSYCAT, RASPBERRY RIPPLE, SECRET PAL, STUNNING, TWIST OF FATE, UTAH VALLEY
 
Thanks in advance--I look forward to learning from all of you!
