I don't like to bad talk an iris, but I've tried to grow Florentine Silk for
about five years.  In that time I have seen just two blossoms on about a 12
inch stalk.  My latest effort is still alive but barely.  My climate here in
the Phoenix area is arid enough, and most irises are suffering with this
month's temperatures above 110 F.  Many of Keppel's do well here.  I voted
for Wintry Skies.

All  of the awards are listed on the AIS web page if you click on awards.
The increase on Florintine Silk kept rotting here in Alabama until it
finally succumbed. This is pretty good evidence that many judges are living
in areas where it grows well, arid regions. We do not have many judges in
Region 24. I have other Keppel iris that have done well and I just purchased
eight from him. He sent four extras. I hope they all bloom and do well next
year. If not, I guess I will have some holes to fill in 2013.
