I wrote an article for SIGNA last year about an "iris hunting" trip where I found a fabulous population of Iris cristata blooming amongst Aquilegia canadensis and Cypripedium sp. in southern Ohio. It was just a one-page article, but I included lots of great photos. My favorite was a flower that had falls that actually drooped rather than flare outwards. It reminded me of a dwarf Iris tectorum. Anyway, being in SIGNA I know quite a few folks growing (and selling) modern cultivars of Iris cristata. I'll see if I can stir up any support for your RGQ issue. If you want to use any of my photos, I'll be happy to share them. Dennis in Cincinnati
