There was a discussion on FEATURE ATTRACTION about two years ago.
Check the archives for further details on F A. Of course, it was
pretty at the Oregon convention in '94, but in a lot of areas of the
country, it blooms out. Schreiner's withdrew it last year, but it is
back in the catalog again this year at $40 a pop! For an iris that
is five years old, $40 is a lot. There must be a lesson here.
