Just goes to show, Dykes medal winners are not all deserving. Many lovely
iris are difficult to grow. I do remember hearing of a good row of Edith in
bloom once in southern California's "high desert" area, and I saw it looking
great on an episode of "Victory Garden" somewhere (probably in Oregon).
Other than that, I haven't seen or heard of it doing well anywhere.
Have those of you in other climates had as much wonderful luck as I have
with recent Ghio intros? Of course most Byers things (and now I find many
Sutton things) are excellent growers, but for sheer beauty I'll take Ghio's
best work over anything. Even extras that sound ordinary on paper ('I never
would have ordered that") usually turn out to be excellent and uniquely
lovely.
