I have a new project and I will be asking for your help in the future. I need photo documentation for dwarf irises. I am going to ask everyone far and wide for photos of very old and very new little irises for the Dwarf Iris Society. So many of the little irises do not have a photo in any iris database. I don't care if the photo is black and white or even if it is a bad photo. Any photo is better than no photo. You can watermark your photos and the DIS website, once the website is overhauled, will state that the photos are the property of the photographer and cannot be used in any form without the owners permission.
Most vendors of historic irises have already made their photos available. So, I am looking mostly at private gardens and old publications.
Even if the little iris is lost to our gardens forever it needs a photo added the hybridizers information.
Slowly but surely.......
