Paul2032 said:I am going to dig out some of my catalogs from the 70-80's one of these days to jog my memory of Simon iris and will ask my friends here if anyone still grows them. I'll bet they are present in a number of gardens of people who don't keep track of names as they were quite popular at the time. This may be a real labor of love for you Mike.


Thanks for your reply Paul. Bill got into iris hybridizing in the mid 80's and likely posted to catalogs about '86 thru '90. Bill taught me to take pride in all plants that I grew, so when I started to continue growing his I tagged everything in my yard! Two of the outstanding features of his iris are ruffles and "diamond" dusted petals, an extremely beautiful feature. Again, thanks for your impute, Michael
