Lori, the same 2 from Arlyn's last group caught my eye too- good tastes, right? LOL

Beautiful glimpse into history Arlyn!

While I see why many are only drawn to moderns, these graceful beauties take me back to childhood, and the qualities of irises that first intrigued me. I've always felt connected to the past, being sentimental and nostalgic, I enjoy feeling that connection to gardeners of yesteryear.

Another of my historic noids, that I bet some of you experts could point me into the right direction as to possible id.
