If I recall correctly, all of these have won the Wister award, Dykes award, or both. I don't think you could go wrong with any of them.
DaisyDo said: Golden Panther is amazing, too. But because I was afraid it might clash with some of my other colors, I planted it in a separate garden, flanked with some dark purples, including Sharp Dressed Man. I'm so glad I got it bcause it is truly gorgeous. Take a look at the other pictures of it at Tall Bearded Iris (Iris 'Golden Panther') (Scroll down.)
It knocks my socks off every time it blooms.
