Anner, this is so true! We had a hellacious storm blow through here last
week and it flattened most of my tall irises.....however not a single one
of my old-fashioned irises fell over. NOT A SINGLE ONE!
This fact encouraged me to work them into my hybridizing program. What
good is a beautiful flower if it's not on a sturdy stalk! Not only that,
but they have good branching and good fragrance.
