Sometime back there was a discussion of the meaning of the term
landscape iris, and it developed that there are several meanings for the
term.
Yesterday, I received an iris catalog that used the term
florabunda to describe irises I would consider landscape irises. Like
roses, does this mean there are 'clusters' of blooms on each branch (poor
branching, perhaps?) or does this simply mean 'lots of flowers?'
Has anybody heard of 'florabunda irises' before? In this catalog
the 'florabunda irises' are priced the same as the non-florabunda.
Now, I am wondering if a 'hybrid tea iris' has been introduced, and I
just missed it along the way. To me that iris would be one bloom on a
long stem....no branching.
