Tom, was it *you* that was snubbing your nose at reticulatas saying that
dwarf bearded were much prettier and equally small? Someone said that!
:-) However from discussions on this list since then I have gathered
that the smaller bearded iris do not do well in our warm-mild winter
climate.
The dutch irises do very well here, though their blooms seem hardly
worth the long period of grassy foliage before and after they bloom.
I am planting more this year though :-). These are bulbous, like the
reticulatas.
