Seeing this thread has gotten my juices flowing. I have several historics: Honorabile, Flavescens (tons), Kashmir White, Prinzess Viktoria Luise. I also have a brown which I believe is Prosper Laugier. Anyone agree?

This year I did a trade and got Demi-Deuil, Rose Unique and I bought Wabash. I like historics because they are so hardy. I get mad at newer irises which bloom some years and not others, or get diseases and rot in our winters (so I prefer beardless and historics). Don't get me started.

I also have a goniocarpa grossa in a pot so I can get it out of the rain which hasn't bloomed for me. It's an aril (regelia side) from China. I am at least keeping it alive and it's growing each year.
