Iris cristata

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.
