Hi Char,

ROY DAVIDSON is from a bee pod on the variety HOLDEN CLOUGH whose own 
background is a matter of dispute.  Its pod parent was Iris pseudacorus; the pollen 
parent was said to be I. chrysographes, but experts don't believe that it could 
have been a parent.  So we only know for sure that ROY DAVIDSON is one-fourth 
I. pseudacorus.  We have grown it and think it is a nice addition to the 
garden.  The only problem with it is that iris borers love to eat it.
