There was a Lady that lived here a few year ago who is an artist and also loved Iris . Her name is Nancy Glazier. We became good friends. She came to my home one day and had a portfolio of prints that she had just done. She wanted some iris and invited me to choose as many of her prints as I wanted as a swap. I felt she was being far to generous and chose 2. To make a long story short she also became good friends with Melba Hamblen, a well respected Utah Hybridizer and a Lovely Lady. A trip to Melba's garden each spring was wonderful. It was exciting to see her intros and seedlings and she also guested iris for most of the major hybridizers........I'm running on...........Nancy did an oil of Melba's Iris Inga Ivey. I just googled Nancy Glazier/Inga Ivey/Melba Hamblen and found sources of the print. It is just GORGEOUS. I think I might have one. You had better take a look Thumbs up
