So I am not alone in liking the somewhat waterfall effect on
bearded irises or for that matter preferring the form of the
older Siberian irises. There are exceptions, of course, but
by and large I prefer the over-all 'shape' of the traditional
iris. My favorite Siberians are Esther C.D.M. and Mesa Pearl
which emphatically do not look like the 'older' Siberians.
I do like space-agers, Rusty et al. So like most, my
garden is eclectic looking re irises.
Cheers,
Ellen (sunny and cold today)
