Nancy Burstein replied to Becky B. Carlson's discussion Heirloom Iris in the group iris, my new love"Very kool Lisa-I do not have any heirloom irises but I have found some of the names that i am missing on the web. There is a farm called "Pleasant Valley Farms" and they display photos of their irises. I am sure that there are others.
