Ellen--
Would never introduce that iris as a BB despite it's 25" height. The
flower is much too large for a BB and it doesn't fit the class. But
every visitor through the garden loves it and wants to buy it! We've
been trying to get that flower on a taller plant, without success so
far; we keep the seedling around to hybridize with as it seems to pass
on its' characteristics, including the heavy lace!
