<< you say the field for historic irises is wide open,
and others have made similar comments (Rick Tasco and Graham Spenser?). Is
that for all eras of historics, or just the 'important' irises, or ? Seems
like I remember the Iris Pond historics being really old ones, not so much
the 50's and 60's irises. >>
Linda:
In my experience, in order to be popular it has to be a good plant,
regardless of age. A historically "important" iris will not sell well unless
it grows well and blooms well in most seasons.
Good growth + good blooms = good sales
- a simple equation, but it holds true for all irises of all ages (bearded or
otherwise).
Of course, defining "good blooms" is not so easy! (-;
