Marilyn, did you ever meet Keith Keppel or Larry Lauer when you were in Stockton? Stockton used to be a major hub in the iris world. Now they have almost all moved to Oregon.
In your quest to grow PCN's, look for the oldest varieties that are still easily available. They are known survivors. Hager lists "Canyon Snow" as a parent of one of his introductions. I think it originally came from Southern CA. It's still around.
