I assume you are referring to the broken color things? I have found
only one broken color iris that does well for me - a reblooming
border from Virginia Keyser of CA called ZIGGY. The broken color
irises from NE and UT are lucky if they survive one year in my
climate. Seeing one in bloom in my garden is a rare sight indeed. I
managed to bloom VIOLET TIGER once, but I think it is gone now. It
was struggling the last time I looked. I think I tried BATIK three
times before giving up on it. The catalog pictures are nice and the
names unusual, but I am wondering if people are voting for the
pictures and names and not the flowers.
