Well, sometimes it does, but sometimes it doesn't, I think. To me,
droopy implies not much substance, whereas strappy is just narrow.
Usually the two go together in older iris, but I have some seedlings
with fairly narrow and rigid falls from crosses of pallida with stuff I
lost track of.
Guess it depends on what yer straps is made out of, whether they sag in
exhaustion or just are bent down.
