They have no such reputation of which I am aware. Not widely grown, which may 
or may not mean anything. Most folks's eclecticism doesn't stretch to Junos.  

I have the vague memory that Elaine Hulbert of SIGNA has grown them in the 
rocky westerm part of Virginia, but her expertise with Iris species is 
legendary. 

You could certainly take a whack at I. bucharica and see what they thought of 
your rockpile. They might be a neat little oddity for you to adore.You could 
be a trailblazer, Linda!

I saw it used with that real pale aqua muscari once in a garden festival 
display in February and it was very fresh and pretty, although those were 
forced plants and I don't know that bloom is simultaneous otherwise. As Our 
Borer says, they look like little cornstalks and the flowers are a nice 
yellow and white.
