Kent, I'm afraid I left one factor out. That is personal preference. In
order for me to vote for an iris I have to like it. It is rare that I think
any iris is UGLY, but it could happen. LOL!
I'm not fond of purple plicatas and don't grow many. I did grow Jessie's
Song for a few years and used it in crosses, but I'm not sure I ever voted for
it on the symposium. But then I didn't have too since everyone else kept it
on the top!
When used with Earl Of Essex, Jessie's Song gave some very clean (white)
plicatas. I'm learning that it's really only the 'dirty' purple plicatas that I
don't like! Taste, like a lot of other things, evolves!
The symposium IS about favorites! I have a lot of favorites I'd LOVE to
vote for but don't.
