Maybe one aspect of the problem is that the TB iris is seen not as a garden
plant but as a collector's plant--which it has become, with thousands of
varieties, many of which are not "garden-worthy" in that they cannot
survive long in a mixed border.
A TB that was close to everblooming, could compete in the border with other
plants, and had a reasonably attractive flower would become very popular
with the general public but it would be hard to get it noticed by AIS,
which seems to me to focus on the show bench.
