Re: HYB: Ruffles VS tailored

One of the best of yours here so far is GILDED CREAM, not a rebloomer,
tailored.  I wonder how many ran out to get that one after I posted the
photo of a big clump of it in full bloom here in the vale this year.
<g>  It has fat rounded falls that I like.

From reading catalogs, I get the impression that even hybridizers in
iris heaven don't throw away the really good irises that show up in
their seedling patches that aren't really what they were looking for.
If they have 'presence', they are keepers.  May not sell well the first
few years, but maybe some go on to win awards?
