We seem to have quite a beardless and species contingent developing
on this list. That's great! I have the feeling that beardless types
will be on the upswing as we go into the next century; the trend in
gardening seems to be away from showiness and formality (typified
by the TBs) and toward elegance and landscape value, which the beardless
irises (Siberians especially) have in abundance.
Spurias do great out here in the southwest--much easier than the
other beardless ones.
