Stalk to fan ration?  An important feature in garden irises.  And  isn't that 
why we grow them??  
 
This may be subject to conditions to some degree.  FEED BACK produced  lots 
of stalks in Alvaton, but fewer here.  Not as well cared for here,  either.  I 
moved a good sized clump late last fall and will report.  I  think it will be 
much happier in the new location.  Has some afternoon  shade, now.   
 
BRIDGE IN TIME, produces magnificent clumps in display gardens.  You  
wouldn't believe the stalks in the garden in BG!  Not as much so in my  garden now. 
Also with a new home this year that may please more.  Have  it in four 
different plantings.  GILDED CREAM seems to respond well to most  any conditions.  I 
noticed you got a take with it.  
 
 

 
Make more crosses!  If you don't cross them, you can't   plant them!
