And to all budding hybridizers out there, please do not register iris as
border beardeds stemming from tall bearded breeding just on height
alone.  I see too much of this being done and this is not right.  Who
wants to see clubby stalks, oversized flowers and 3 inch wide leaves on
a border bearded.  Not to mention that some grow higher than advertised.
The key word here is "Proportion".  Conscious consideration should be
given to all parts - plant, stalk and flower.....and the proportions of
one to another.
