My understanding is that, due to the confusing state of tall bearded
iris taxonomy, coupled with outright incomprehension and laziness,
some botanists lump ALL the garden beardeds into Ãgermanica,
regardless of the actual species involved. I assume that whatever
actual plants were observed to be invasive are fertile, wild-type TBs.
I found a TB clump several feet in diameter far from human habitation
in northern Michigan, with no evidence of recent flowering. The
rhizome I dug should flower this spring, and it'll be interesting to
see what old species or hybrid it turns out to be.
