Hi Laurie
I am getting the impression that the ruins I spoke of date earlier than 1950. But, how would my father have known they were Biologists if they were not there when he moved in in 1950? My memory of it is not the best. I do remember it had a natural stone foundation. It was burned for all the time I remember. There was a lot of concrete work, but it had a severely overgrown rock garden and that is where I saw these spikey grass like leaves that interested me, so I dug them up and brought them home. Turned out to be this Iris.
Thank you for your reply! The second two look close. Harmony looks out of proportion to what I have. I'll have to check your link. And now I am remembering that we have the Presby Memorial Iris Gardens in Upper Montclair, NJ. I've been there many times over the years. I'll have to check with them. Somebody there might know some more.
