Linda, I know you are especially fond of DUSKY CHALLENGER so I'll pass on 
this observation.  While I was at Alvaton, one of my self-appointed winter 
tasks was to walk through the garden to see which varieties showed the most 
"winter presence."  I don't remember all of the results, but I can tell you 
that every time I said, "Wow, look at that one!" it was DC.  I did this for 
several years.  And people thought I was crazy looking at irises in the 
winter!  Well, the decision on that one is still out! <g>
