Jan,
Before writing off UNFORGETTABLE FIRE, you may wish to check out how
it does for others. I know that at least one other person mentioned that
it stands up for them. It may be that it did not like the growing
conditions in Lexington, KY. Or, maybe I had it in a bad place. Lexington
is very prone to late season freezes, often after the bloom stems emerge.
This might have something to do with it. How does it do for other growers
in Australia?
Another Iris to consider is BUSY SIGNAL. It is more of a brownish
red. BUSY SIGNAL did grow well in Kentucky.
