Linda,
I not sure where you live in East Tennessee, but I could suggest you
join a local iris society if it is possible. Being in a society you can
hear from other members what grows and does not grow for them in your
general area. You can usually acquire newer iris at modest prices from
these societies.
As for the current awards system, you must have missed the wonderful
posting that Gigi Hall wrote a few days ago. Also one by Clarence
Mahan.
