Hello Mike, I myself am very fond of the little space agers.  I think the rarity of dwarf space agers, out weighs the narrowness and warrants intoduction.  If these are fertile, they would aid in creating more median SA's.  I have mixed feelings on "wide" flowers.  While it is more of the Modern look, I find that substance/budcount/vigor are more important in the garden performance respect.  If they are flounced, I don't mind them being a little narrower, I've noticed wide SA's with big flounces sometimes have a hard time opening, the flounce hangs up in the standards and sometimes snaps off when opening. Thanks for posting these.

Been working on dwarf space age iris for over a decade and have not been really satisfied with the results.  Am not sure dwarfs look good as space agers....... attached is a flounced SDB (red violet/purple) and a petaloid MDB (yellow one) Input on space age dwarfs would be appreciated. ...does anybody think they are worth the effort?  To me, most end up being narrower then average and, in general, the appendages are very inconsistent.
