I was beginning to think this might be a genetic fault of particular 
plants. I have had many blooms on YES with 4 - 6 falls and standards, 
and one with 7 style arms. TRAMP (SDB) had many blooms with less than 3 
falls. One bloom had only 1 fall and 1 standard, another had 2 falls, 
and 2 standards fused at the centre, yet another had 2 falls, 2 stds, 
and a 'stall' (a petal which was 1/2 std and 1/2 fall, with a 1/2 
beard,)
There have been no poisons used nearby, and the weather has been a bit 
variable, but other iris in the same area, and flowering at the same 
time, have not been affected.
If this happens again with the same plants next year I will probably get 
rid of TRAMP, while YES might be saved by the fact that it puts on a 
good display.
Cheers, Jan Clark, in Australia
