RE: TB: Ora Burton

Hi Barb,
   Ora Burton was a friend of Melba Hamblin, and Melba named an iris after
her.  She has lived in Salt Lake City, Utah for a very long time.  The last
time I last saw Ora was at an iris show a few years back.  The last I heard
was that she was in declining health.  I'm not sure of her age but I think
that she is in her upper 70's or early 80's.
   Hope that this helps.
