Randi, I left a message on your facebook page. You iris is some sort of a tall bearded historic iris, but I cannot ID it. You may want to check out the HIPS website to see if any of their photos match yours, but I would post the photo on the Historic Iris Preservation site on Facebook to see if someone can ID it there.

Mike...Here's an article published by the NY Flora Assn about various forms of Hydrangea that have been found in the NE. It may be of some help. If you could post a photo of the inflorescence and leaf of the one's you found, someone can probably help with a correct identification. Rb Here is a link that might be useful: NYFA Newsletter

This site has a discussion about Japanese sewing machines being clones of American machines and why they usually hid their place of manufacture and how they named the machines... it may help you. Does your machine "look" like an old Singer? If so, this site has copies of old manuals. If yours isn't listed on this page, try browsing around the site. It has OODLES of old machines. And here is a third option, just email the folks at this site and send them absolutely all the info you have, and if you can, send them a picture - as they say, a picture is worth a thousand words!
