As far as "availability" is concerned, there are many varieties that are
better in color, but might not be available at, say, a garden center. If
you want something bad enough, you can often find out how to get it,
including yellow siberians, of which roughly 8-10 NICE ones have been
introduced since 1990.
The other problem:
I know I've mentioned this on the list before, but here it is again....
often any yellow siberian iris is passed off as Butter & Sugar, and the
same goes for Caesar's Brother. The real Caesar's Brother is quite nice,
so if you aren't happy with yours, aquire it from a different source. When
we finally got the real one, we finally understood the difference.
