Not to say that good performance isn't rewarding but, we have between
500-600 iris and certainly have some poor performers that are gorgeous and
therefor keepers. Sometimes it's an event (read exciting) just to have a
particular plant bloom. Your sensitivity to "Garden Appeal" is a virtue.
Perfection can be a goal, but it shouldn't be a requirement. We'd miss a
lot of beauty along the way. I've been to dog shows and seen some really
perfect specimens of really ugly dogs, but I never met an Iris I didn't like!!
