Carolyn,
The SIGNA article by John Weiler spelled the Morea three different
ways. At November's meeting of the Fresno Iris Society of which I am a
member, John Weiler gave a presentation on iris other than bearded.
Which was quite good--anyway he passed out corms of this Morea and he
had it labeled ARISTATA. So I guess this is the correct spelling. I
planted my corms immediately and they are up already. The corms are the
size of crocus and the foilage is small and narrow reaching only 4/5
inches in height.
