These are all the 90s tall bearded iris I currently have tried to grow. The
first date is when it was introduced, the second date is when I planted it, *
means it bloomed this dreadful spring. I am doing this for all my irises -
anybody who wants a copy email me. This is a work inprogress, so there are
lots of gaps (which I tried to fill with ? for this message) and mistakes I
am sure. anybody know what the date of intro and spelling for
CUMQUAT/KUMQUAT is? It may be a 1940's iris for all I know. I haven't added
the huge bunch of iris I got this year yet, including a 1997 intro from a new
cyber friend! I am beginning to understand the 'problem' in being honest
with generous hybridizers whose cherished children don't do well! Guilt.
