Hi, Fred, I'm glad you ran this one again.

I've been searching through a variety of circa WWII gardening material in
search of another reference to orchid iris or Shilka everblooming orchid
iris. 

So far, nothing has come up. There are hits for Shilka (a town and a river
in southeastern Russia). 

Does that Hansen catalog give an illustration? If so, can you scan it and
send it out?

How exactly is this plant described in the catalog?
