Kathy,
     You did the correct thing.  Nitrogen deficiencies do occur, but are
quite rare.  Also, by knowing that it is a flaw with the plants, you have
done the right thing by not using them in hybridizing.  Sure, they could
probably be sold as novelty plants, but I am with you about not knowingly
using weak plants.
     One thing I always did is "trash" plants that were poor perfomers.  If
a plant did poorly for me, it did not go into the Iris Sale.
