I find those older historics so charming and happily acquired a few this past year so I hope they bloom next year. I have many more on my wish list. They provide a sense of history into a garden and I enjoy seeing them close-up as they often have such subtle beauty to them.
Superstition Iris Gardens has a great photo listing of some winderful historics.
