Greetings,
I am trying to establish a garden of irises related to the Charlotte Iris Society. (Charlotte NC).

These would be irises that were hybridized by the members or named after the members.

For Example
Hybridizer B. J. Brown

Charlotte, North Carolina, USA
Registrations/Introductions:
Tall Bearded: 'Blue Etchings', 'Catawba Camouflage', 'Catawba Frills', 'Catawba Honey', 'Catawba Maiden', 'Catawba Peach', 'Catawba Pottery', 'Catawba Queen', 'Catawba Warrior', Designer's Choice', 'Eleanor Yates', 'Queen Charlotte'.

If you are growing these or know where I can acquire them please let me know. I have recently joined the CIS and would like to make sure these varieties do not fade away.

Thanks Grey!

I will check the Thelma list. Is Gabe Rivera in your society? He can fill you in on Thelma's.

If we can get hold of Scott @BlueFlagFan he can add any irises you cannot find to our Wanted Thread if you like?

Good luck! Crossing Fingers!
Of course I talk to myself; sometimes I need expert advice!
