Sounds nice to me, if the ruffles are there and the standard are closed. I
like flaring falls. But I acknowledge the right to determine the fate of
your own product. I would probably have saved it at least for crossing with
annoyingly-short-but-otherwise-lovely iris, although a similar approach with
a tall seedling of mine didn't help Shenanigan (one of the few BB's I like
enough to bother with).
