I agree and I have stopped doing this....the survival of the fittest
works well with plants especially if they are going to be used in a
hybridizing program. Of course, none of us would introduce any
plants that haven't been 'garden tested' in several different regions
and climactic conditions. If not, they should actually say so in the
checklists and catalogues, IMHO. Save a lot of grief for some.
Just my $.02,
Ellen (where two plants are the only iffys after our Zone 4 winter -
that includes all the plants not only irises)
