Oo! Now I'm on the spot! For what I'm getting at in my previous post
(not necessarily other qualities), here are some examples: Song of Norway,
Twist of Fate, Sky Hooks, and (oldies) Wabash, Chivalry, many others I
can't bring to mind right now!
Some of these are fairly wide-petaled, but the shape is such that the
elegant iris silhouette is still well presented.
