Monty Byers' iris were mostly behind on form, but that's the whole reason to
keep working with them. Many are tall and well branched, with excellent bud
count, vigor, and rebloom characteristics. Rock Star (short) and Stingray
have gone crazy in my yard the past two falls, winters and springs; and
Reincarnation is a favorite parent for me. I'm trying to use it to get a
dependable neglecta. The SA twist is just a bonus. Eggnog is a consistent
rebloomer with decent form, but not my choice of color. I don't have many
other Byers iris left, but I do agree the genes should be worked into other
lines.
