I got a note offlist from someone suggesting "spider" form irises might
be interesting.

Do any of you know of anyone trying to breed for spider form in bearded
irises?  Irises with long, narrow falls and standards?  Maybe twisted
and flared?

For some reason, that makes me think of the shade iris - sorry, can't
think of the species at the moment.  The one with the brightly colored
seeds.
