Iris 'Roy Elliott'

I did search for Iris 'Roy Elliott', but found little information. It
appears on a few lists of species and cultivars without a
description, although one list (but not the RHS Plantfinder)
identifies it as a selection of I. versicolor. There is a photo of it
on the Arrowhead Alpines photo gallery. The plant Terry Laskiewicz
grew from its seed appears to be a much improved version, at least
florally, because the cultivar 'Roy Elliott' has narrow standards
while Terry's flower, similar in color, has broader, spectacularly
marked and ruffled segments. I've grown I. versicolor, the typical
plant, but did not consider it worth keeping. Probably the
free-draining soil here didn't suit it, either.
