Well, I almost said so, too, but unknown parentage is unknown parentage, 
isn't it? 

It iseems to me this is sort of a sticky wicket twice over, what with 'Holden 
Clough' being very mysterious itself, at least at the time. But that several 
species were involved seems probable, yes. 

Of course, you could say that about a lot of garden irises of all kinds; 
indeed, when you get right down to it, right many of them could be classified as 
inter-species hybrids.

If Ben Hager did not feel he should register the iris with greater 
specificity, I'm inclined to follow his lead.
