To any of you who can help or know of a source for Iris bred by William John 
Caparne.  He hybridized IBs around 1900.
Mike de Carteret from the Isle of Guernsey is working with a group trying to 
establish a historic garden featuring the Iris of William Caparne.  I am 
including a list of the Iris they are still looking for.  If you can help, 
please contact him at   mikedec@guernsey.net
List:  
ALPHONSE, ARIEL, BLUEBEARD, BRIDE (THE), BRUNETTE, CANARY, CERES, CHARMANT, 
CIRCE, CLOTH OF GOLD, COMUS, CONSTANCE, DAINTY, DAUPHIN
DIAMOND, DOLPHIN, DON CARLOS, DOROTHEA, ELEANOR, EMPRESS, ETTA
