Hmmm. . . . could be. I will complain more about the ones that receive
awards! One of the worst in my garden was AMAZON BRIDE. It didn't even take
rain to cause the standards to cave in, just a few hours of time. Random
pictures in other gardens showed the same thing, yet it won an HM (at least.) It
was one of my favored color classes at the time and a child of Bride's Halo!
My conclusion, at the time, was that some people liked this characteristic a
lot more than I did/do. A second year of growing and viewing didn't improve
it in my garden.
Linda, the midrib is weak in these irises. Is that a part of substance?
I'd thought substance pertained more to the petal thickness/consistency? Or
not??
I'm not knocking anyone's preference. We all have likes and dislikes.
These are just some of mine!
