WRIGHT FLYER has been quite rot prone here.
I left out STAIRWAY TO HEAVEN (amoena)
STRICTLY BALLROOM has been very wimpy here, but Betty W in KY has posted
that it's happy with her.
Is MISTY TWILIGHT (Sides?) a neglecta? I think I have it somewhere, but
am not sure I've seen it bloom.

Growth-wise, bloomwise, etc., etc., WF goes into the category with
cemetery flags here, the old white and purples. Like Cleo Palmer's FANTASTIC
BLUE, WF can be grown on ditch banks to stop erosion. It's a shame kudzu
was introduced before these two irises. They are absolutely indestructible
even in bottom land.
MT is a neglecta. It has a magnificient bloom, but I see it so rarely
I forget about it - maybe because it tries to bloom in the fall and gets
so severely zapped by a freeze, it cannot recover to bloom in the spring -
at least in my garden.
Linda, maybe you should buy DON'T NEGLECTA.
