Linda,
There are only a couple of the irises you have listed with which I have had
firsthand experience.
I grew MARIAH for a couple of years. IMO it was "just another blue" and not
a very vigorous grower, either. It has been deaccessioned, as they say it
the art world.
TEMPTING FATE is a very nice flower and a moderately good performer, but
not in the same class with the likes of SULTRY MOOD and CELEBRATION SONG.
