say for sure. I will post later when I am sure.
This Iris came to us via my husband. When he was a little boy, his
father brought it home as a plant. His Dad worked for a big Texas
Power Company, after the war. My husband loved this plant and made
sure that we grew it, all along not knowing from where it came.
On one of our many bulb hunting trips, we ran across it in Lometa,
Texas, not too far from where Scott is from. It was not blooming at
the time, so we were not sure that it was the same plant.
We asked, then dug, but were only granted a few plants. I waited an
entire season only to learn that the two plants, the one I had and the
found one, were the same.
After that, we both knew where Pop got that beautiful Iris! It is the
only place we have ever found it growing.
