Near the end of Spring Dreaming #2 there was a mention of Argyle Acres.

I ordered from them this past year and was very well satisfied with what I received. I bought a recent "Space Age" introduction by Christopherson and a few others including an historic for which I had been looking for some time. They listed it!-- Schortman's PATIENCE. Years ago it had been one of my favorite irises.

To my knowledge there has never been another along the same lines. My "purple-magenta-rose" breeding project is aimed at coming up with an iris in modern dress that has the unique color and texture of Patience. I've made some very good progress in that direction. Here's a photo of one of the seedlings from the project. It is # R 30-5 from (Swingtown x Romantic Evening) X Vienna Waltz. This color is not exactly accurate, but does indicate the direction I'm headed.

A photo of this one has previously been posted to Iris-photos, so it may already be familiar to some of you.
