Re: HYB: Swingtown

It may fall into that group of tough ones here that actually <like>
excessively drained gravelly soil & drought.  Like CELEBRATION SONG.

How does SULTRY MOOD do for you?  It's more prolific than SWINGTOWN and
has been thriving in clay as well as more gravelly soil.  I don't have
it in the worst gravel, where SWINGTOWN is growing.

<Gee, it was one of the first to rot for me last year.  Went bye-bye
before it could even put down decent roots.   Betty W. in South-central

Betty, seems like there are often big differences in performance of
irises here (not just at my awful garden, but good places & caregivers
like Tom Parkhill) and Kentucky.  Often wonder what the difference might
be - seems like too little difference in climate to make that much
difference.  Of course, it may just be due to comparisons between years
- 2001 in Kentucky compared with 2000 in Tennessee <g>
