Where did these iris come from?

Kern Acres, an iris farm west of Springfield, was owned by Betty Kern. At one time, Betty had more than 300 different iris on about 1 acre of her property. Betty passed away in January 2018. Her daughter, Sandy, shared Betty's iris estate with us. In the past two weeks, master gardener volunteers have spent more than 200 hours digging, bagging and labeling almost 200 different iris.
