To any of you who can help or know of a source for Iris bred by William John

establish a historic garden featuring the Iris of William Caparne. I am
including a list of the Iris they are still looking for. If you can help,

List:
ALPHONSE, ARIEL, BLUEBEARD, BRIDE (THE), BRUNETTE, CANARY, CERES, CHARMANT,
CIRCE, CLOTH OF GOLD, COMUS, CONSTANCE, DAINTY, DAUPHIN
DIAMOND, DOLPHIN, DON CARLOS, DOROTHEA, ELEANOR, EMPRESS, ETTA
