Maybe there should be a thread for IDing Noids, the technical aspects.
However, there are many old Irises that exist only as a description or a drawing. (Bataan, for instance) There are seedlings and there may be reversions. Irises sport and I suspect they may revert, with the "hybrid" eventually reverting to a mix closer to the dominant parent.

I went to work in 1992 while working on my Master's at night ,was raising 4 kids as a widow ,running a paper route for extra money and didn't have the time for iris.I lost my husband in 1979 at age 33 in a car accident.

I am so sorry to hear that you lost your husband so long ago. Raising 4 children, working and doing your masters at the same time is an incredible achievement.

Thanks so much,Robin.Think I was averaging around 3 hrs.of sleep.More on the weekends though I had to get up 7 days a week at 3am for the paper route.
I can look back this many years later ,and wonder how in the world I did that!
