In my opinion, 'Cowboy Mystique' is one of the most beautiful 2 tone blue irises that there is..hands down..although she is not a Historic in age, she is an older and rarer one none the less, so she is often overlooked. She is hard to find too. i know blue-j iris used to have here in their catalog but has been sold out their the last 2 years, i know a grower in shawnee, oklahoma that has a few left, and i hope to get some of these from him this summer, to plant with my purple maroon with blue space age horned 'Neon Cowboy' i got from Dana of Malevil iris in west texas.Cowboy mystique is just such a beautiful true 2 tone bluecolor iris...peace..mike
