Thanks for the imput. I hope to introuce it in 2011 or 2012.
It was sent to the Median Convention 2012 this summer, if it didn't get lost. The plant is very small.

Mike -- I agree with Bob Pries. The bloom times between classes overlap. Border beardeds bloom late enough -- along with the TBs -- that they are pretty well distinguishable by that factor, along with proportions. But in my location in Zone 7a in northern Virginia, some SDBs pop up along with the MDBs, and some IBs last into the TB season. Also, many SDBs here (my own as well as other introduced varieties) grow more like MDBs. -- Griff

According to The Judges Handbook it does not qualify as a SDB because the bloom is too small and stalk is too short. MDB will not work because bloom is to late. Thus the seedling is not introducible. A small iris that could bloom south of the MOB will not be this seedling. 

Gruff does 05M1 bloom with the Mobs

Judges Handbook:
Definition: Bearded iris up to 25 cm (10 inches) in height. Stems are usually unbranched; Flowers are 4 to 7.5 cm (1.6 to 3 inches) wide; earliest blooming of all bearded iris and with pure I. pumila usually the first to bloom.

Mike and Loic:
If it looks like a duck, walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, etc., etc. If it meets all the criteria set forth in the Judges Handbook......... that's all that's necessay.
