Oh Tom -- I know about the *acid test* -- lol. It isn't that important to me -- I'm not a hybridizer or anything. And I can't waste the space or money duplicating something I already have. But I do like to know the identity of the Irises that I have -- and I'm content to have a label that says *Gypsy Romance?* -- with a question mark. It was given to me by a friend who is an Iris enthusiastic -- in a bag marked *Batik*, which it isn't. He does have *Gypsy Romance* - so there's a good chance this is it. What I didn't ask him is -- if he has any other Irises that look like that. Next time I see him, I'll do that. But I thought, perhaps, that Rita would recognize it since she has that variety. To me, they look alike enough for a question-mark identification.
