You will probably get more informative replies, but these are real oldies,
going back to 1930 and beyond. You are not likely to find pictures or
descriptions in any current reference. I would suggest looking for older
iris books in a library... Also, I think the correct names would be FLORA
ZENOR and MINNIE COLQUITT.
