Hi Francelle,
Give Decadence another season. It is blooming tall here in Oregon. I think it may take iris from up north a bit longer to acclimate themselves to your climate.

I like it, Griff.  The colors remind me of Decadence which bloomed here for the first time this year and disappointed me with short stalks and clumped blossoms that faded in the sun.  I like the tall irises.  They are the ones you can’t overlook in the garden.  That one is a show stopper.  Introduce it.

Here's a seedling that has me in a quandary.  The color scheme is just about unique, the branching is good and the bud count is 7.  But, at 48" tall, it has to be staked, because, sooner or later, rain and wind will make it lean or fall.  Also, its very size means that it has to have extra space in the garden.  The question is, with those demerits, should it be introduced?   --   Griff
