CHRISTMAS RUBIES has been used in many of the newer white with red  beards.  
Did I forget to mention that it hasn't bloomed for me since my  good iris 
friend sent it to me?  Maybe this year.  
 
Out crossing to other colors may be the only way to improve the growth  
habit.  NORDICA is pretty and grew well in Alvaton; however, it is not  from white 
breeding.  (Not saying not to use it.) 
 
FOGBOUND is new here and looks about average.  Some of the new irises  have 
taken off like a house afire (including HOUSE AFIRE) while others have died  . 
. . BLUEBERRY BLISS & AMITY ESTATES.  I bought several last year that  are 
reported to be weak growers in this area.  I'm hoping we don't get a  late freeze 
in the next three weeks because it could change my survival rate  
drastically.  Everything is definitely growing.
