I agree that pseudacorus is a good one, especially if our criteria is the
most enduring iris for the millennium (and beyond). But what are we looking
for in terms of a millennium iris? Is it an iris that spans the millennium?
Is it an iris that represents a major breakthrough and changed the way we
look at irises (e.g., space-age, broken colour, Huber irises)? Or is it the
iris that represents the pinnacle of achievement on which the new millennium
irises might be based?
