It has indeed, Lucy.
You're exactly right Jolana -- introduced in 1986. Thirty years later, it is still going strong. Not many Irises can make that claim!!
Oh -- I hope so too, Jolana -- but probably not. She was notorious for changing her Ebay name every year or so, so that she could not be tracked down. I had the receipt for my purchase, and Ebay could do nothing about it because the transaction was too old -- they purge their records after two years. There was a lot of conversation about her on one of the Iris lists (probably Dave's Garden) -- that's where I learned that there were many people taken in by her. They even had a satellite image of her very small house and yard -- and not a single Iris plant in sight. It was speculated that she bought ditch Iris by the car-load on Ebay, and then turned around and sold them as named cultivars. There were many, many complaints -- and Ebay did nothing. For all I know, she's still on Ebay stealing from people.
